Autorenporträt

Paul Elmer More (1864-1937) was an eminent American critic and scholar who significantly contributed to the literary and philosophical discourse of the early 20th century. Known for his astute and penetrating essays, More's work encompasses a critique of modern skepticism and a robust defense of classical and Christian thought. His literary output included a range of topics from Greek literature to religious and ethical discussions demonstrated in his well-regarded 'Shelburne Essays' series spanning from 1904 to 1935. One notable work is his insightful study 'Benjamin Franklin' wherein More delves into the life and philosophy of the iconic American figure, revealing the complexities and dualities inherent in Franklin's character and thought. Esteemed for his traditionalist viewpoint, More's writing is characterized by its elegance, historical cognizance, and moral seriousness. His distinctive combination of conservative thought with high literary criticism has cemented his place as a significant figure in American letters. More was a part of the conservative intellectual movement alongside his friend Irving Babbitt, with whom he led the New Humanism movement - an advocacy for classical realism against naturalistic modernism. His authoritative voice in literature and cultural critique made him a revered and sometimes controversial figure in the academic landscape of his time.
