Winston Churchill (1871-1947)

(The American Author who is not related to the British Sir Winston)

A Sketch of his Life and Work

This sketch was released by THE MACMILLAN COMPANY as part of a document
to promote Churchill's 1913 novel, "The Inside of the Cup."

Mr. Winston Churchill, the author of "The Inside of the Cup," "The
Modern Chronicle," "Mr. Crewe's Career," "Coniston," "Richard Carvel,"
"The Crisis," and "The Crossing," was born in St. Louis, Mo., November
10, 1871. He is the oldest son of Edwin Spaulding Churchill of Portland,
Me., and Emma Bell Blaine, of St. Louis. The first sixteen years of his
life he spent in his native city, which was in fact his home until he
built Harlakenden House, his present residence at Cornish, N. H. In St.
Louis, it will be remembered, the opening scenes of "The Crisis" are
laid; and St. Louis again formed the objective point of Mr. Churchill's
next novel, "The Crossing." From Smith Academy in St. Louis he went to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.

Winston Churchill had not been a year at the Naval Academy before he
became interested in American history and American problems, and before
he finished his course he had made up his mind to devote his life and
energies to these--not only with the pen, but as an active participant.
Much of the atmosphere and some of the material for "Richard Carvel" he
gathered while still a midshipman at the Naval Academy; and in the brief
intervals between scientific studies and drills he began to read some of
the history which he afterwards used.

He resigned from the Navy on his graduation, worked for a time on the
Army and Navy Journal, and then joined the staff of The Cosmopolitan.
While he lived at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, working steadily on the
magazine, he continued his experience with fiction. He never tried to
publish any of his first work, and it is not now in existence. That year
(1895) he married Miss Mabel Harlakenden Hall, of St. Louis; and not
long after established his home at Cornish.

He found himself at this time in a fairly enviable position. He was not
obliged to spend his life doing hack-work, and could take abundant
leisure to perfect any piece of writing which he undertook. However, he
united with his rare good fortune much rare good sense. He best
illustrated the familiar paradox that genius is a capacity for taking
infinite pains. He approached his work with an inexhaustible patience, a
dogged determination to be true to his own high exactions, both in style
and substance.

Before he began "Richard Carvel," and also while it was on the stocks,
he visited Virginia and Maryland, and studied the country and the old
records with great thoroughness. He also read a vast amount of history
and other literature which gave the spirit of the period. During the
seven or eight months in '98 and '99, when he was writing the book from
beginning to end for the fifth time, he was living on the Hudson, about
thirty miles from New York. During those months he worked from breakfast
to one o'clock, then for some hours after luncheon. Late in the
afternoon he would take a long horseback ride, and after dinner he would
go at his work again, continuing sometimes far into the night. In the
midst of his work on "Richard Carvel," while he was staying at Lake
George, he ran out of historical material, and wrote "The Celebrity."
This novel was the subject of a great deal of comment on its first
appearance in 1897, and many people still regard it as the brightest and
most amusing and original piece of work which Mr. Churchill has done.

After finishing his work on "Richard Carvel," Mr. Churchill, in the
spring of 1899, went to live at Cornish, N. H., where he had purchased a
large farm on high ground on the banks of the Connecticut, just opposite
Windsor, Vt. On the estate which he had bought Mr. Churchill then built
Harlakenden House, which is modelled upon one of the mansions of
Colonial Maryland. In 1913 Harlakenden House was selected by President
Woodrow Wilson as his summer residence.

It was here that news of the great success of "Richard Carvel" came to
Mr. Churchill.

The novel immediately became the most popular book in the United States,
and was more widely read and discussed during its first year than has
been the case with any other book ever published.

"Richard Carvel" contains the great historical figures of Charles James
Fox and John Paul Jones. Perhaps the most thrilling and vividly written
passage in the book is that which describes the memorable battle between
the Bon Homme Richard and the Serapis. It was this that was accountable
for the revival of interest in John Paul Jones and led to the finding of
his burial place in France and to several biographies written largely
under the stimulus of his character and personality as graphically
revealed in "Richard Carvel."

Two or three years later "The Crisis" appeared. This time Mr. Churchill
chose for his background the stirring days of the Civil War, through
some of its most thrilling events his hero passes. He incidently painted
supremely good pictures of Lincoln and Grant, showing how they grew out
of the conditions that produced the crisis, and how they dominated it
and brought it to such an issue that the country became better, greater
and stronger for the cataclysm that had threatened to disrupt it. Like
"Richard Carvel," "The Crisis" was dramatized, and opened its successful
run on the stage a few months after the book's publication.

Mr. Churchill's next book, in the series of historical romances which he
began with "Richard Carvel," is entitled "The Crossing" and was
published in the spring of 1904. Its title refers to the crossing of the
Alleghanies by the tide of the American immigration after the
Revolutionary War. No annals in the world's history are more wonderful
than the story of this conquest of Kentucky and Tennessee by the
pioneers. In "The Crossing" Mr. Churchill caught the wonder of that
adventurous phase in our early history and made of it what many consider
his most delighting romance.

Meanwhile Mr. Churchill had become actively interested in politics. In
the year 1903 he became a member of the New Hampshire Legislature. The
direct outgrowth of Mr. Churchill's interest and experiences in politics
were two important novels, "Coniston" and "Mr. Crewe's Career."

In "Coniston"--that great prose epic of political corruption as it
existed in New England a generation or more ago--Mr. Churchill showed
his ability to write of contemporary life with a vigor and understanding
which were not surpassed in any of his other work. "Coniston" has a big,
vital, political issue for background and a unique and dominant
character for central interest. "Jethro Bass" was a farmer by origin,
taciturn, inscrutable, with his streak of sardonic humor and his slight,
unforgetable stammer, was heralded as the most important figure Mr.
Churchill had ever drawn.

Two years later "Mr. Crewe's Career" was published, to meet with instant
success. It was a further embodiment of Mr. Churchill's observations and
experiences among the people of the political whirlpool, and showed his
increasing power as a novelist of contemporary life. The business of
politics, the sordid struggles of an election are described with a
graphic pen. Rarely has an American author portrayed with such judicial
calm and yet with such relentless realism, the sinister aspects of
political life in a rural community or woven into this grimy fabric, in
gold thread, a charming love story that goes far to make us forget the
ugly and hateful features of the picture.

It will be seen how, since the publication of "Richard Carvel," Mr.
Churchill's themes move in orderly sequence from Colonial days until
each represents the actual life and atmosphere of distinct periods in
American history. It was "A Modern Chronicle" that brought Mr.
Churchill's work to the heart of the present. The new novel dealt with
the social problems of the marriage condition, the imperfect
civilization of ultra-fashionable life, with its frequent climax of
divorce. Heretofore Mr. Churchill's leading characters are men, but in
"A Modern Chronicle" he gives us a woman--Honora Leffingwell--
fascinating, full of illogical moods and caprices, who, taken from start
to finish, is a most consistent and convincing piece of
characterization.

With the day of its publication, in 1910, "The Modern Chronicle" headed
the list of "Books Most in Demand" at the libraries and the Bookman list
of "Six Best Sellers" in almost every large city of this country. Its
success was confined not only to this side of the water but in Great
Britain, as well; the book was in great demand. These conditions were
due to the fact of the author's established reputation with the great
majority of American and English readers, and to the merits of a work
which received almost unanimous appreciation from the press of both
countries.

Three years have passed since the tremendous success of "A Modern
Chronicle," and during this time Mr. Churchill has worked upon and
completed the novel which, perhaps more than any other, will create
discussion and admiration and go furthest to assure the author's
reputation as the biggest literary figure in America to-day.

"The Inside of the Cup," Mr. Churchill's latest novel, may be rightly
called the sum of his genius. It contains the same art of his former
work, broadened, enriched and matured, and reflects the romance of
"Richard Carvel," the realism of "Coniston," and the deep social
significance of "A Modern Chronicle." From a masterly delineation of the
personal history of a young clergyman and the transformation of his
views and attitudes toward modern society, Mr. Churchill unfolds a
powerful study of the present tendencies in the Church and their new
relation to the life of to-day.

"The Inside of the Cup" is unquestionably the most impressive novel that
Mr. Churchill has yet written, in character drawing and illuminative
disclosures of the cross sections of society, and in the portrayal of
their more delicate and crucial relation to conditions vital to the
national welfare.

*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE WORKS OF WINSTON CHURCHILL ***

Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will
be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the
United States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™
concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following
the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use
of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very
easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation
of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project
Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away--you may
do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected
by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark
license, especially commercial redistribution.

START: FULL LICENSE

1.E.8.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be
used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works if you follow the terms of this
agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual
works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting
free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™
works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily
comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when
you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no
representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
country other than the United States.

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear
prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work
on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed,
performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
  under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
  eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
  United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where
  you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is
derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™
trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted
with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works
posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™
License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format
other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official
version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain
Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the
full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works
unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
provided that:

• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
  the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method
  you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
  to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has
  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
  legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
  payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
  Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
  Literary Archive Foundation.”

• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
  you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™
  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™
  works.

• You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
  any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
  electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
  receipt of the work.

• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
  distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than
are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right
of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™'s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
