About the author
Born in 1848 and died in 1931, Charles Lowe was a British newspaper correspondent and historical biographer. He spent many years in Berlin as a foreign correspondent for The Times, giving him close experience of the political world he later wrote about.
His best-known book is Alexander III of Russia, first published in 1895. Modern editions still note it as his most important work, and his background as a journalist helps explain the book’s detailed, eyewitness feel.
Lowe also wrote The Tale of a "Times" Correspondent; Being an Account of My Forty-Five Years' Practice in Journalism and other works on European history and public life. His writing bridges reporting and biography, making major 19th-century figures feel immediate and human.
