Robert Cortes Holliday (1880-1947) was a distinguished American writer, critic, and biographer notable for his literary contributions in the early 20th century. Born in Indianapolis, Holliday pursued a career in writing that spanned journalism, essay writing, and the curation of anthologies. Holliday served as an editor for several literary magazines and was a contemporary of renowned writers such as Christopher Morley. His oeuvre includes several volumes of essays and biographical studies, but he is perhaps best celebrated for his collection 'Walking-Stick Papers' (1918), which showcases his refined literary style and insightful social commentary. This book describes an array of subjects with whimsical and profound observations, reflecting on urban life, literary figures, and personal experiences with wit and eloquence. His work often exhibits a blend of critical acumen and playful narrative, characteristic of the early modern essay tradition. Holliday's literary contributions offer readers a glimpse into the cultural and social dynamics of his time, as his writing not only entertains but also provides historical value through its depiction of contemporary thought and manners.
