About the author
Sherwood Sweet Knight was an American author born in 1876. Library and public-domain catalog records identify him as the author of Human Life (1910) and What Makes Life Worth Living; or, The Moral Development of Humanity (1912), both published in New York by R. F. Fenno & Company.
His surviving work suggests a writer deeply interested in ethics, purpose, and the inner shape of human experience. Rather than writing fiction, he appears to have focused on reflective, idea-driven books that explore what gives life value and how people might grow morally.
Biographical information about Knight is limited in the sources I could confirm, but memorial records list his lifespan as 1876 to 1957. Even with so little personal detail available, his books still stand out for their earnest engagement with enduring philosophical questions.
