    Horatio Alger

    Horatio Alger (1832-1899) was an American author of children’s literature. While the majority of his works are young adult novels categorized by what came to be called the “Horatio Alger myth”—in which a young boy escapes poverty through hard work, determination, and the assistance of a wealthy benefactor—Alger also wrote poetry and short stories throughout his long, successful career. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Alger was greatly inspired by the Protestant work ethic, and sought to write books for children with moral, inspirational themes. Successful during his lifetime, Alger’s works remained popular through the beginning of the twentieth century, and to this day he is recognized as a pioneer of young adult fiction.
