William Lyon Phelps

About the Author

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943) taught at Harvard for one year and Yale for forty-one years—giving a course on modern novels that was controversial, but popular. He was a director of the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. Phelps wrote Essays on Russian Novelists (1911), Archibald Marshall: A Realistic Novelist (1919), Some Makers of American Literature (1923), and As I Like It (1923).
