Edward Garnett

    Edward Garnett byl anglický spisovatel, kritik a literární redaktor, který se vyznačoval mimořádným citem a rozhledem v soudobé literatuře. Ačkoli měl jen krátké formální vzdělání, sám se dále vzdělával intenzivním čtením. Jeho vliv prostřednictvím podpory a povzbuzování předních autorů dalece přesahoval jeho vlastní tvorbu. Garnett se zasloužil o objevování a prosazování talentů, ačkoli někdy učinil i chybná rozhodnutí. Jeho literární kontakty byly široké a zahrnovaly osobnosti z různých zemí a uměleckých směrů.
