Bliss Perry (November 25, 1860 - February 13, 1954) was a literary critic, writer, editor, and teacher from the United States. Perry was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts to eminent economist Arthur Latham Perry and Mary Brown Perry. He attended Williams College in Williamstown as well as colleges in Berlin and Strasbourg. Perry was a teacher at Williams from 1886 until 1893. He later taught at Princeton University, where he met future US President Woodrow Wilson, Dean Andrew West, and former US President Grover Cleveland, about whom he wrote amusingly in his autobiography, And Gladly Teach. From 1893 until 1900, he was the Holmes Professor of English Literature at Princeton. He released A Study of Prose Fiction in 1902, dedicating it to "the Princeton men who used to listen to these discourses." Between 1907 to 1930, Perry taught at Harvard University, and from 1909 to 1910, he was a Harvard lecturer at the University of Paris. He was the editor of The Atlantic Monthly from 1899 until 1909.
