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. + + + +CONTENTS + +Click on the ## before each title to go directly to a +linked index of the detailed chapters and illustrations + + The Works of Winston Churchill + Title Year + The Unchartered Way 1940 + Dr. Jonathan (Play) 1919 +## A Traveller in War-time ¹ 1918 +## Essay on The American Contribution ¹ 1918 +## The Dwelling-Place of Light 1917 +## A Far Country 1915 +## The Inside of The Cup 1913 +## A Modern Chronicle 1910 +## Mr. Crewe's Career 1908 +## Coniston 1906 +## The Crossing 1904 + Mr. Keegan's Elopement ² 1903 +## The Crisis 1901 +## Richard Carvel 1899 +## The Celebrity ³ 1897 + +1.

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. + + |
