Manly, John Matthews
American literature -- 20th century -- Bio-bibliography; American literature -- Outlines, syllabi, etc.
Born at Dublin, Ireland, but brought up in Sydney, Australia. As a child,
lived also in New Zealand, but studied art in Australia. In 1907 she came
to the United States and supported herself for three years by writing
fiction for the popular magazines. But finding that this work was going
to kill her creative ability, she earned her living in a variety of other
ways--as organizer, advertisement writer, illustrator, artist's model,
factory worker, etc.--while she wrote poems. Her reputation was made by
the publication of _The Ghetto_ in 1918.
