marc520: "John Forster" by Percy Fitzgerald is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of John Forster, a prominent figure in 19th-century literature, known for his literary criticism and friendship with notable writers, particularly Charles Dickens. It details Forster's ascent from humble beginnings to become a respected "man of letters," highlighting his social interactions and powerful influence among literary contemporaries. The opening of the biography paints a vivid portrait of John Forster, describing him as a robust and uncompromising character who cultivated a vast circle of friends and acquaintances, including literary and political figures. The narrative captures his distinctive personality, sharing anecdotes that illustrate his intolerance for pretense and his knack for dominating conversations. It also emphasizes his role as a critic and a mentor to many, shedding light on his literary accomplishments and the deep affection he held for his contemporaries, while hinting at the challenges and ironies of his life as a lifelong bachelor devoted to the literary world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
