Résumé du livre
Ernest Howard Crosby (1856-1907) was an American reformer and author, born in New York City, the son of Presbyterian minister Howard Crosby, and a relative of prolific hymnwriter and rescue mission worker Fanny Crosby. His book, Plain Talk in Psalm and Parable (1899), was widely commended by such writers as Björnson, Kropotkin, and Zangwill. Crosby was a popular speaker for the Anti-Imperialist League. In the span of six weeks, Crosby composed the best anti-imperialist novel of the period, Captain Jinks, Hero (1902).
