1923. American editor and author. A Rhodes scholar, Morley was one of the founders of the Saturday Review of Literature, of which he was an editor from 1924 to 1940. A prolific author, he wrote more than 50 books. In an advertisement to the reader Morley writes: But, like most poets, I have always hankered to put down some of my private pensiveness about the nature and purport of literature (and especially poetry). This is not a book of literary criticism, but something much less skillful and much more important, an attempt to probe those disturbances and ecstasies that engender literature. Practically all of these soliloquies first appeared in the New York Evening Post. Contents: Not to Become a Slave; Have Faith in Poets; Moby Walt; In the Smoker; A Current-Event Film; The English Problem; Fontainebleau and Vesey Street; Outlines; Pre-Natal Care of Poems; Catching Up with the Past; At Home, Four to Six; and That One Might Almost Say.
