Ernest Percival Rhys (; 17 July 1859 – 25 May 1946) was a Welsh-English writer, best known for his role as founding editor of the Everyman's Library series of affordable classics. He wrote essays, stories, poetry, novels and plays. He was born in London, and brought up in Carmarthen and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. After working in the coal industry, he was employed doing editorial work on the Camelot Series of 65 reprints and translations from 1886, for five years, while he turned to writing as a profession. He was a founder member in 1890 of the Rhymers' Club in London, and a contributor to ''The Book of the Rhymers' Club'' (1893). In 1906, he persuaded J. M. Dent, the publisher, for whom he was working on ''The Lyric Poets'' series, to start out on the ambitious ''Everyman'' project, aiming to publish 1000 titles; the idea was to put out ten at a time. The target was eventually reached, ten years after Rhys died. ==Works== *The Great Cockney Tragedy (1891) *A London Rose: and other rhymes (1894) poems *The fiddler of Carne (1896) Prose *Welsh Ballads (1898) poems *Gwenevere: Lyric Play (1905) *Lays of the Round Table (1905) poems *The Masque of the Grail (1908) *Enid: a lyric play written for music (1908) *London: The Story of the City (1909) *Lyric Poetry (1913) Criticism *English Fairy Tales (1913) With Grace Little Rhys *The Leaf-Burners (1918) poems *The Growth of Political Liberty (1921) *Lost in France (1924) poems *Blackhorse Pit (1925) novel *Everyman Remembers (1931) autobiography *Rhymes for Everyman (1933) poems *Letters from Limbo (1936) *Song of the Sun (1937) poems 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernest Rhys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
