Autorenporträt
Christopher Morley was an American journalist, novelist, essayist, and poet who lived from May 5, 1890, until March 28, 1957. He also provided college lectures and staged theater performances for a while. Pennsylvania's Bryn Mawr is where Morley was born. Christopher's mother, Lilian Janet Bird, was a violinist who greatly influenced his subsequent love of literature and poetry. His father, Frank Morley, was a mathematics professor at Haverford College. The family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1900. Christopher enrolled in Haverford College in 1906 and graduated as valedictorian in 1910. Then, on a Rhodes scholarship, he spent three years at New College in Oxford studying modern history. After completing his studies at Oxford, Morley relocated to New York City. He wed Helen Booth Fairchild on June 14, 1914, and the two of them had four kids together, including Louise Morley Cochrane. They initially resided in Hempstead before moving to Queens Village. After that, they relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before making their last transfer to a residence they named "Green Escape" in Roslyn Estates, New York, in 1920. For the rest of his life, they stayed there.
