Greg: A Sketch" by John Morley is a biographical sketch that provides insights into the life and thoughts of William Rathbone Greg, an influential thinker and political figure during the 19th century. This book is part of a collection of essays and was likely written in the early 20th century, reflecting on earlier developments in literature, philosophy, and politics. The primary focus of the book is to portray Greg's character, intellectual contributions, and the socio-political context he navigated throughout his life. In this biographical essay, Morley delves into Greg's upbringing, his education at the University of Edinburgh, and his significant roles in literature, politics, and social reform. The author illustrates Greg's journey from a cotton manufacturer in Manchester to a prominent writer whose works addressed pressing societal issues. Highlighting Greg’s complex opinions on democracy and the governance of society, Morley emphasizes Greg's belief in an aristocracy of intellect over a purely populist approach to politics. The narrative portrays Greg as a reflective thinker whose life was marked by the pursuit of knowledge, compassion for the working class, and an enduring engagement with the moral questions of his time, making it a valuable read for those interested in the intellectual history of the Victorian era.
