| biography:
| Educator, poet, and playwright, born in Spencer, Indiana, USA. He began as a teacher at the University of Chicago (1895–1907), then turned to the theatre. His poetic plays were not produced, but he is known, rather, for his serious social dramas, including The Great Divide (1906). At the time of his premature death, he was regarded as the great hope of a new and mature American school of drama. |
