Here follow some remarks concerning a remarkable man of American letters, undeservedly swept under the carpet of obscurity by the ebb and tide of popular opinion, but still remembered fondly by bibliophiles.
Christopher Morley spent his youth much as recounted in the semi-autobiographical work 'John Mistletoe', lurking in libraries, with his nose often in a book. He went to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, where his first book was published, 'the traditional slim volume of verse', as he later recounted. He went on to write numerous works, redolent of the atmosphere of early twentieth-century America, and gradually following the course to modernity.
Morley's works are difficult to find now, with pitifully few of them still in print. Due to his popularity in the first half of this century, though, one can still locate a large number of his works at better second hand bookshops.
I chose to use a definite article in the heading of this site as I could not, on a cursory search, find much else to do with Morley on the web. This site is a new thought of mine. It is, as always, under construction.
