Charles Ignatius Sancho was a British abolitionist, writer and composer. Born on a slave ship in the Atlantic, Sancho was sold into slavery in the Spanish colony of New Granada. After his parents died, Sancho's owner took the two-year-old orphan to Britain and gifted him to three Greenwich sisters, where he remained for eighteen years. Unable to bear being a servant to them, Sancho ran away to the Montagu House in Blackheath where John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu taught him how to read and encouraged Sancho's budding interest in literature. After spending some time as a butler in the household, Sancho left and started his own business as a shopkeeper, while also starting to write and publish various essays, plays and books.
Ilmari Kianto oli yksi 1900-luvun alkupuoliskon huomattavimmista suomalaisista kirjailijoista. Kiannon kirjailijanura kesti yli 60 vuotta, jona aikana hän kirjoitti kuutisenkymmentä kirjaa. Hänen maineensa perustuu kuitenkin lähes kokonaan hänen kahteen köyhälistöromaaniinsa Punainen viiva (1909) ja Ryysyrannan Jooseppi (1924). Näiden kirjojen ansiosta Kianto tunnetaan kainuulaisen köyhälistön kuvaajana, ”korpikirjailijana”.

Irving Babbitt was an American academic and literary critic, noted for his founding role in a movement that became known as the New Humanism, a significant influence on literary discussion and conservative thought in the period between 1910 and 1930. He was a cultural critic in the tradition of Matthew Arnold and a consistent opponent of romanticism, as represented by the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Politically he can, without serious distortion, be called a follower of Aristotle and Edmund Burke. He was an advocate of classical humanism but also offered an ecumenical defense of religion. His humanism implied a broad knowledge of various moral and religious traditions. His book Democracy and Leadership (1924) is regarded as a classic text of political conservatism. Babbitt is regarded as a major influence over American cultural and political conservatism.
