About the author
Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Arthur Bartlett Maurice was an American writer, editor, and journalist educated at Richmond College in Virginia and at Princeton. Early in his career he worked on New Jersey newspapers before joining the New York Commercial Advertiser as a special writer.
Maurice became closely associated with literary journalism. He served as joint editor of The Bookman from 1899 and later as its editor, helping shape a magazine that introduced readers to authors, books, and publishing culture in the early twentieth century.
He also wrote books of his own, including Fifth Avenue and, with Frederic Taber Cooper, The History of the Nineteenth Century in Caricature. His subjects ranged from New York life to literary figures and popular culture, making him a good guide to the tastes and interests of his era.
