Edward Everett Hale is remembered by millions as the author of The
Man Without a Country. This popular and gifted nineteenth-century
writer was an outstanding and prolific contributor to the fields of
journalism, fiction, essay, and history. He wrote more than 150
books and pamphlets (one novel sold more than a million copies in
his lifetime) and was intimately associated with the publication of
many of the early American journals, among them the North American
Review, Atlantic Monthly, and Christian Examiner. He served as
editor of Old and New and was a frequent contributor to the
foremost newspapers and periodicals of his time. Yet the writings
of this "journalist with a touch of genius" were only incidental to
Hale's Christian ministry in New England and in Washington, D.C.,
where he was for five years Chaplain of the Senate. His literary
creed reflected that of his ministry, for Hale's interpretation of
the social gospel comprised an active concern with all phases of
human affairs. Confidant of poets and editors, friend to diplomats
and statesmen, Hale helped mold public opinions in economics,
sociology, history, and politics through three-quarters of what he
called "a most extraordinary century in history." In recounting
Hale's life and times, Holloway vividly portrays this fascinating
and often turbulent era.
