Description: Charles Henry Conrad Wright (1869–1957) was a professor of French language and literature (Harvard) and author of several books, notably his 990-page A History of French Literature (1912). He specialized in French literature of the 16th and 17th centuries. He taught at Harvard for many years, finishing as Professor of French Language and Literature. In 1903, he purchased Windy Ledge, a farm in Maine where the family would spend its summers. Their neighbors included the Westons and the Thayers. In 1914, C. H. C. Wright married Elizabeth Woodman, and they had three sons: Walter Woodman Wright, C. Conrad Wright, and Brooks Wright. "This volume is not written to prove a theory. I have merely tried to provide a helpful guidebook for the better understanding of the writers of modern France and of the civilization to which they belong." (the author)
