Müəllif haqqında
Francis Hopkinson Smith (1838–1915) was an American author, artist, and engineer with a multifaceted career that spanned several decades at the turn of the 20th century. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Smith was not only a prolific writer but also achieved recognition as a civil engineer, having had a hand in constructing the foundation for the Statue of Liberty. His literary journey is marked by a distinctive narrative style that often reflects his experiences and observations of American life, particularly in the post-Civil War era. Smith's works include a mix of genres, from novels and short stories to travelogues and essays. 'Forty Minutes Late' is one of the many narratives where Smith's subtle humor and keen eye for detail shine through (Smith, F.H., 1916). His writing, characterized by a leisurely narrative pace juxtaposed with thoughtful character development, offers readers a glimpse into the genteel society of his time. Despite the historical distance, Smith remains noted for his ability to encapsulate the social and cultural attitudes prevalent during his lifetime in his writing. His works serve not only as entertainment but also as valuable socio-historical documents that continue to engage scholars and aficionados of early American literature. Smith's contributions to both literature and engineering continue to be celebrated for their enduring legacy in the cultural tapestry of the United States.
