Edward Garnett

    Edward Garnett fut un écrivain, critique et éditeur littéraire anglais, distingué par son jugement avisé et sa large connaissance de la littérature contemporaine. Malgré sa formation scolaire limitée, il s'est largement auto-formé par une lecture approfondie. Son influence, exercée par l'encouragement et le soutien aux auteurs de premier plan, a largement dépassé sa propre production écrite. Garnett a joué un rôle crucial dans la découverte et la promotion de talents littéraires, bien que ses décisions éditoriales n'aient pas toujours été parfaites. Son vaste réseau l'a mis en contact avec des personnalités influentes de diverses nationalités et de différents domaines artistiques.
