Horace Elisha Scudder fut un homme de lettres américain prolifique, célébré principalement pour ses livres captivants pour enfants et pour sa période distinguée en tant que rédacteur en chef de The Atlantic Monthly. Il se consacra au travail littéraire, rédigeant des essais et un vaste corpus de journalisme qui paraissait souvent anonymement. Scudder entreprit également d'importants projets éditoriaux, notamment des séries de livres influentes et des biographies, consolidant ainsi sa place en tant que figure notable dans les cercles littéraires américains.
John Keats lost both his parents at an early age. His decision to commit himself to poetry, rather than follow a career in medicine, was a personal challenge, unfounded in any prior success.
