Richard Barham Middleton

Richard Barham Middleton, 1882-1911, quälte seine Arbeit als Versicherungsangestellter der Londonder Royal Assurance Exchange Corporation. Er schloss sich der Gruppe junger Autoren »New Bohmenins« an, und lernte dort G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc und Arthur Machen kennen. Verschiedene Zeitungen veröffentlichten seine Gedichte und Erzählungen, sein Werk aber wurde erst nach seinem Tod entdeckt. Mit 29 Jahren beging er in Brüssel Selbstmord. Seine wohl bekannteste Kurzgeschichte ist »Die Landstraße«.

Nach der Vorlage aus dem Band mit mehreren Erzählungen von Richard Middelton in der wunderbaren Reihe Steidl Nocturnes
