Felix Grendon

Felix Grendon was an English-born writer and critic who lived from 1882 to 1965. Reliable library and catalog records describe him as an author whose work crossed several fields rather than staying in just one lane.

He is especially noted for writing about Old English and Anglo-Saxon charms, but he also published novels, plays, reviews, and other criticism. Records of his work list titles including The Anglo-Saxon Charms, Nixola of Wall Street, The Love Chase, and Will He Come Back?, which gives a sense of how varied his writing life was.

Archival descriptions also note that he taught at the City College of New York, wrote many essays and articles about George Bernard Shaw, and was a member of the Fabian Society. That mix of scholarship, theater-minded criticism, and fiction makes him an appealing figure for listeners who enjoy rediscovering overlooked early twentieth-century writers.
