On advance of time

About the author
Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1893, George Keyports Brady became an American English educator and scholar. Records from the University of Kentucky oral history project say he earned his PhD from the University of Illinois in 1923 and joined the University of Kentucky in 1925, where he taught in the English department until 1963.
Brady's published work includes Samuel Daniel: A Critical Study, an early scholarly study of the Elizabethan poet, and On Advance of Time, a later book preserved by Project Gutenberg. Together, those works point to a writer interested both in careful literary criticism and in broader reflections shaped by a lifetime of reading and teaching.
He died in 1984. While detailed biographical material appears to be limited online, the available sources consistently portray him as a dedicated professor whose career was closely tied to literature, higher education, and the University of Kentucky.
