On advance of time
by George Keyports Brady
About the author
Born in 1893, George Keyports Brady was an American English educator whose published work centered on literature. He wrote Samuel Daniel: A Critical Study, an early book-length examination of the Elizabethan poet Samuel Daniel, and he is also credited as the author of the poem On Advance of Time.
The surviving record suggests a life shaped by scholarship and teaching rather than public fame. Reference sources identify him as a college English professor, and bibliographic records connect his name with literary criticism and academic study.
Brady died in 1984 in Kentucky. Although not widely known today, his work still has value for readers interested in older English poetry and in the kind of close, serious criticism produced by early twentieth-century literary scholars.
