  Ernest Rhys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest Percival Rhys (July 17, 1859 – May 25, 1946) was a British writer, best known for his role as founding editor of the Everyman's Library series of affordable classics.
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.

Born in London, Rhys was brought up and educated in Carmarthen until he was six years old, when his father transferred his wine business to Newcastle.
Rhys fretted in his father's office and began working as a would-be viewer in the North East coalfield.
Rhys eventually turned to literature and worked for the Tyneside publisher Walter Scott, a well-known figure in the Victorian reprint market, on his Camelot series from 1886.

 Ernest Rhys' Essay, "An Introduction To Historical Essays."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The main idea in this history-book is to trace the slow political growth of the common folk, from the folk-right assigned in the old "Dooms" of Alfred1 and Edgar2, to the fuller liberty given them by the "Acts" of Parliament in our time.
Rhys first started out as a mining engineer, but, in 1886, turned to full time writing, first he freelanced but then was to be on the staff of Walter Scott's publishing house, and, too, an editor for the "Everyman's Library" of classics.
Rhys' writing efforts were mostly reflected in volumes of romantic verse.

 Walt Whitman Archive--Manuscripts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Rhys marketed the book as the "Whitman" installment in the Canterbury Poets series, what Rhys called the "Everyman Library" because of the series' goal of making the works of writers like Shakespeare, Keats, Coleridge, Longfellow, Poe, and Whittier available to all.
Rhys had hailed Whitman as a fellow democratic socialist in a letter concerning the proposed 1886 edition, saying, "You know what a fervid stir and impulse forward of Humanity there is today in certain quarters!
Rhys also includes as an epigraph the Richard Watson Gilder poem, "The True Poet," reproduced from the November 1881 Century Magazine (viii).

The group as a whole matched quite closely Yeats retrospective idea of the tragic generation, destined for failure and in many cases early death.By the time Arthur Ransome wrote his Bohemia in London in 1907, the group had already passed into legend: "...

 British Editions of Leaves of Grass Introduction
The 1886 British edition of Leaves of Grass is fascinating in its similarity to and difference from the Rossetti edition of 1868.
Both editions selected poems from American editions of Leaves rather than publishing the entire text, but while the 1868 Rossetti edition aimed at introducing Whitman to England's literary elite, the 1886 edition, selected by Welsh socialist Ernest Rhys and published by Walter Scott, was aimed at bringing Whitman to the working class.
Special thanks to Gerald Wager and the staff of the Rare Books and Special Collections Reading Room at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., for their help in accessing and working with the British editions of Leaves of Grass from the Feinberg Whitman, Houghton Whitman, and Whitman collections.
