write a short note on Henry cuyler bunner
Answers
Answer:
Henry Cuyler Bunner was a 19th century American poet, playwright, short story writer and novelist. He spent the whole of his relatively short life in and around New York City and his verse and stories often provided vivid descriptions of the place that he lived and the people that he observed around him.
He was born on the 3rd August 1855 in Oswego, a town in the north central area of New York, close to Lake Ontario. Little is known of his upbringing although it is likely that it was a comfortable one. His grandfather, Rudolph Bunner, had been a member of the US House of Representatives. He was educated at establishments in New York City, though seemingly not to any great academic standard. He began his working life on the clerical staff of an importing house but felt that he would be best employed putting his writing talents to good use, so he turned to journalism.
He joined the reporting team of The Arcadian at the age of eighteen and, within four years, had risen to the assistant editorship of a humorous weekly publication called Puck. This was a pioneering magazine, being the first one in the country to feature satirical articles, cartoons and caricatures of political figures and issues of that time. From humble beginnings it went from strength to strength and had a successful run right up to the end of the First World War. Bunner eventually became editor and retained that position until his untimely death in 1896.
