Samuel McChord Crothers (1857–1927) was a distinguished American Unitarian minister, essayist, and author, celebrated for his gentle wit and keen observation of human nature. Born in Oswego, Illinois, Crothers graduated from Harvard Divinity School and served as a pastor in several congregations before settling at the First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His literary career began to flourish with his contributions to The Atlantic Monthly, where his charming and insightful essays garnered widespread admiration. Crothers' ability to blend humor with profound reflection marked his unique literary style, making his works beloved in the field of American literature. One of his noteworthy publications, 'Humanly Speaking' (1912), is a collection of essays epitomizing his thoughtful and accessible approach to exploring everyday human experiences and societal norms. In this work, as in others, Crothers exhibits his adeptness at addressing the complexities of life with both levity and depth, an attribute that established his reputation as a significant figure in early 20th-century essay writing. In addition to his contributions to periodicals, Crothers authored several books that continue to be appreciated for their timeless relevance and their capacity to connect with readers through shared common experiences and the enduring power of well-crafted prose.
