Bart Kennedy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bart Kennedy (1861–1930) was an English novelist, memoirist and journalist.

Biography

Kennedy was born in Leeds of Irish parents.[1][2] From the age of 6 until about the age of 20 he worked in cotton mills and machine shops in Manchester, England.[2] At age 20 he left England, working as a deckhand on a cargo ship[2] which landed him in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2] Illiterate and with no money or formal training, he used the force of his strength (and fist) to "tramp" his way westward across North America.[2] He worked at various laboring jobs including as an oysterman on a skipjack on the Chesapeake Bay; a miner in New York; building railroad sheds in the Canadian Rockies; and panning for gold in the Klondike.[2] He eventually ended up in California where he had various jobs in the theater, including as a singer and actor, before returning to England, where in October 1897 he married Isabel Priestley, a political activist.[3]

Writing career

Kennedy published his first novel, Darab's Wine Cup, in 1897, followed by The Wandering Romanoff (1898). A fair amount of autobiography is contained in A Man Adrift (1899), A Sailor Tramp (1902) and A Tramp in Spain (1904), books about his "tramping" exploits around the world.[1] John Sutherland (1989) says "As an author, he is one of the early advocates of 'tramping', as the source of literary inspiration."[1]

Kennedy also wrote articles for magazines such as The New Age.[4]
