From back covers: Alice Hubbard: A Feminist Recalled Charles F. Hamilton 1991 Before radio, before commercial aviation, before women could vote, East Aurora, New York's second-most-famous author and lecturer stirred live audiences from Boston to San Francisco, from Cincinnati to Salt Lake City. Compelling books and articles from East Aurora focused national attention on East Aurora - and a cause. The cause? Rights and intellectual opportunity for women. The Advocate? Alice Moore Hubbard. As Elbert Hubbard's partner in marriage, business, and intellectual pursuits, Alice helped build The Roycroft's tall and internationally-visible platform for informed opinion. When she mounted that platform, it was in behalf of those many women who did not enjoy the freedoms and opportunities which she and other Roycrofters already knew. Three previous books by Hubbard/Roycroft biographer and historian Charles F. Hamilton reflect Alice's pervasive influence within The Roycroft institution. This first study of a nation's reactions to her works and lectures looks - from the outside in - at her influence in promoting, for all women, the equality The Roycroft practiced. As Bees in Honey Drown Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters CHARLES F. HAMILTON Elbert Hubbard of East Aurora, N.Y., author of the widely reprinted motivational essay, "A Message to Garcia," was a forceful and familiar figure on the American scene from 1895 until his death in 1915. A brilliant, comely and adoring school teacher, Alice Moore, was the abiding love and lift of his life. At first secretly and then openly buoyed by Alice, Hubbard's career and influence expanded far beyond the field of writing. Skillfully employing Hubbard's own guarded and unguarded words whenever possible, author Hamilton dramatically, frankly, and with well-documented authenticity, portrays the public and private life of this many-faceted man. A prolific writer and tireless entrepreneur, Hubbard left indelible marks as a lecturer, syndicated Hearst columnist, editor and publisher of two national popular opinion magazines (The Fra and The Philistine), and as an epigrammatist, advertising, printing and publishing innovator, public relations pioneer and inn-keeper of note. Also standing the test of time, as is evidenced by the current rush of collectors to them, are the treasured hallmark items of the Hubbard-founded Roycroft printing and craft shops at East Aurora, which he patterned after the crafts complex of William Morris in Hammersmith, England. Ten years of thorough research checked and double-checked along the way with his close friend and mentor, Elbert Hubbard H (Hubbard's son), has enabled the author to take his readers back to Hubbard's day and see him as he really was behind the blinding aura of fame that hid many sides of him from his contemporary critics and admirers alike. He shows how Elbert Hubbard was strangely "turned on" by Alice Moore. They were good for each other before they rightfully belonged to each other and this caused heartbreak for others and for them but they made amends as best humans can. Together, these two loved, suffered, acheived and died "as bees in honey drown."
