Excerpt: "Mankind has always loved to tell stories and to listen to them. The most primitive and unlettered peoples and tribes have always shown and still show this universal characteristic. As far back as written records go we find stories; even before that time, they were handed down from remote generations by oral tradition. The wandering minstrel followed a very ancient profession. Before him was his prototype—the man with the gift of telling stories over the fire at night, perhaps at the mouth of a cave. The Greeks, who ever loved to hear some new thing, were merely typical of the ready listeners." (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
Tungkol sa may-akda
W. Patterson Atkinson, born in 1878 in the bustling city of New York, emerged as a pivotal figure in early 20th-century American literature. Known for his sharp wit and incisive social commentary, Atkinson's works often dissected the complexities of urban life and the human condition. His upbringing in a rapidly industrializing America provided rich fodder for his narratives, which frequently explored themes of alienation and societal change.Atkinson's literary career was marked by both acclaim and controversy. His outspoken views on class disparity and his critiques of the American Dream resonated with many but also drew the ire of conservative critics. Despite this, his influence on contemporary writers cannot be overstated. Figures such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Steinbeck cited Atkinson as a significant inspiration, particularly for his ability to weave intricate character studies with broader social critiques.A revolutionary in his own right, Atkinson championed the cause of literary realism, pushing against the romanticized narratives that dominated the period. He was a vocal advocate for the inclusion of diverse voices in literature, arguing that the true American story could only be told through a tapestry of perspectives. His commitment to this ideal paved the way for future generations of writers from varied backgrounds.Atkinson's legacy endures not only through his literary contributions but also through his unwavering commitment to social justice and artistic integrity. His life and work continue to inspire and challenge readers and writers alike, making him a timeless figure in the annals of American literature.
