Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13619Elbert Hubbard describes the homes of authors, poets, social reformers and other prestigious people, reflecting on how their surroundings may have influenced them. These short essays are part biography and part pontification of Hubbard's opinion of the subject and their oeuvre.
In this volume he reflects on the lives of English authors, among them William Morris, Alfred Tennyson, John Milton, Samuel Coleridge, Lord Byron, and Benjamin Disraeli. (Summary by Lucy Perry, adapted by Ava)
This is Volume 5 in a series of 14 books.
