Morley, Henry (1822–94), joined the staff of Household Words at Dickens's invitation, edited the Examiner, and devoted much of his long academic career to the development of English literature as an academic subject. He wrote A First Sketch of English Literature (1873), 11 volumes of English Writers (1887–95), and edited cheap editions of English classics in Morley's Universal Library (1883–8) and Cassell's National Library (1886–92).
