Meer oor die skrywer
Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace, known as Edgar Wallace (1875-1932), was an English writer and journalist whose prolific literary output has left an indelible mark on the thriller and detective fiction genres. Born in Greenwich, London, Wallace was adopted from a poor background and went on to become a correspondent during the Second Boer War for the Daily Mail. His experiences there not only honed his journalistic skills but also provided material for his later writings. Wallace's breakthrough as an author came with the novel 'The Four Just Men' (1905), and his prodigious output eventually encompassed over 170 novels, 18 stage plays, and numerous articles and short stories. His writing was characterized by fast-paced narratives, intricate plots, and an ability to keep readers on tenterhooks. One of his notable works, 'The Feathered Serpent' (1927), epitomizes his talent for weaving suspense with the exotic and is a seminal piece within his vast collection. Wallace's legacy also extends to creating the character of King Kong, which was turned into a screenplay and a famous movie shortly after his death. His works, although less read today, played a formative role in the early 20th century popular fiction, and his influence is still felt in contemporary writing and film.
