1905. American writer, Phillips worked as a newspaper reporter in
Cincinnati and New York City, rising to editorial rank on the New
York World, for which he wrote until 1902. He became noted as a
muckraker and was famous as the author of a series of sensational
articles exposing corruption in the U.S. Senate that appeared in
Cosmopolitan magazine. Phillips's novels, powerful although often
crude, deal with corruptive influences in society and general
social problems, such as the status of women. He came to an
untimely death when he was murdered by a young musician who accused
him of having cast literary slurs on his family. The Plum Tree
begins: We can hold out six months longer, -at least six months. My
mother's tone made the six months stretch encouragingly into six
long years. See other titles by this author available from
Kessinger Publishing.
