(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Frederick Campbell Crews is an American essayist and literary critic. Professor emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley, Crews is the author of numerous books, including The Tragedy of Manners: Moral Drama in the Later Novels of Henry James , E. M. Forster: The Perils of Humanism , and The Sins of the Fathers: Hawthorne's Psychological Themes , a discussion of the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
