About the author

Project Gutenberg lists Harry V. Vogt as the author of By Force of Impulse: A Drama in Five Acts, a play that has been preserved and made available in digital form. Beyond that attribution, reliable biographical details about the author are scarce in the sources I could confirm.

Because so little trustworthy information is easily documented, it seems safest to describe Harry V. Vogt as an obscure playwright whose surviving reputation rests mainly on this dramatic work. That limited record is not unusual for lesser-known authors whose books outlast the details of their lives.

For listeners and readers, that makes the work itself the main point of connection: a glimpse into an older dramatic style, carried forward even when the author remains mostly in the background.
