| biography:
| Bibliophile and literary historian, born in Liverpool, Merseyside, NW England, UK. He helped establish the formidable political and literary New Age (1907). He was active in the Fabian Society, and his lifelong devotion to William Morris was reflected in various works from his early study to his Morris anthology, On Art and Socialism (1947). The Eighteen Nineties (1913) established the literary contours of the decade. His later works include the enormous Anatomy of Bibliomania (1931) and Bookman's Holiday (1945). |
