Local History Zoom Meeting about Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley, the noted writer who lived in Roslyn Estates for more than three decades and whose name graces a local park, was one of America's most respected men of letters during the early twentieth century. As a founding judge of the Book of the Month Club and a columnist in the "Saturday Review of Literature," he helped shape popular tastes in books throughout the U.S. Morley also organized live theatre, including the Millpond Playhouse in Roslyn, and was the founder of The Baker Street Irregulars, the world's foremost Sherlock Holmes society.
During this Zoom presentation, Morley expert Harrison Hunt will discuss the resources available to learn more about the multifaceted author, ranging from basic biographies and autobiographical writings to more detailed studies and places with Morley collections, including the Bryant Library. Hunt, a former Senior Curator of History and Supervisor of Historic Sites for Nassau County, was responsible for Morley's writing studio, The Knothole. This program is co-sponsored by the Bryant Library Local History Collection and the Christopher Morley Knothole Association.
