In the history of letters, Elbert Green Hubbard is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Elbert Green Hubbard as American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher.
Elbert Green Hubbard was born at Bloomington in 1856. His recorded nationality is United States.
The nineteenth century was the age of the serialised novel and mass literacy; writers reached audiences of a size never seen before.
He worked as journalist, philosopher and publisher.
The writing is recorded in English.
A writer's real subject usually becomes visible only across the whole body of work.
That the work was written from United States matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Elbert Green Hubbard died in 1915, aged 59. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
