About the author
Laurence Hutton
1843–1904
Remembered as a lively man of letters in late 19th-century America, he wrote widely about literature, actors, and the small details of everyday culture. His career linked magazine journalism, book collecting, and university teaching in a way that still feels surprisingly modern.
