About the author
Born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, in 1829, Charles Dudley Warner grew up in New England and later built a varied career as a writer, editor, and lecturer. He studied at Hamilton College, trained in law, and eventually became closely associated with the Hartford Courant, where his editorial work helped make him a well-known literary figure.
Warner wrote essays, travel books, and fiction, but many readers know him best for co-authoring The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today with Mark Twain. He also wrote warmly and memorably about childhood in Being a Boy, and his nonfiction often mixed observation, humor, and social commentary in a way that still feels lively.
Although he was an important man of letters in his own time, Warner’s reputation today often rests on only a few titles. Even so, his work offers a clear window into 19th-century American culture, with a style that is polished, conversational, and often gently satirical.
