Arthur M. (Arthur Morrow) Lewis

Arthur Morrow Lewis was an American socialist writer, lecturer, and popular educator active in the early 1900s. Surviving bibliographic records and author pages link him with works including An Introduction to Sociology, The Art of Lecturing, Evolution Social and Organic, and The Struggle Between Science and Superstition, showing the wide range of subjects he tackled for everyday readers.

He appears to have been especially drawn to explaining complex social and political questions in plain language. A memorial article from 1922 describes him as a self-taught iron molder who became a respected lecturer on the Left in Chicago, a background that helps explain the practical, argumentative energy of his writing.

Though he is not widely remembered today, Lewis's work captures a moment when public lectures, pamphlets, and inexpensive books were central to political and intellectual life. Readers interested in the history of socialism, freethought, and popular sociology may find him an engaging voice from that world.
