Information About

Ernest Rhys




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 Rhymer's 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.
