Literary critic, periodical editor, translator, and educator.
William Morton Payne was born in 1858 in Newburyport, Massachusetts to
Emma M. and Henry Morton Payne. He attended public schools in Newburyport and
Chicago, but did not go on to college and was self-educated after high school.
He became assistant librarian of the Chicago Public Library in 1874, but left
this position to teach in the Chicago public schools. He continued to work in
the public schools throughout his other career incarnations, and also as a
lecturer of English at the the University of Wisconsin, the University of
Kansas, and the University of Chicago. He was literary editor for the
Chicago Morning News from 1884 to 1892 while also
contributing writing to the Dial. He became
associate editor of the Dial in 1892 and retained
this position until 1914 when he sold his stock in the publication. As literary
critic, he specialized in modern literature and poetry. He was a respected
scholar of Scandinavian literature and translated the work of Norwegian poet
Björnstjerne Björnson. Despite his lack of formal university education, he
edited volumes such as American Literary Criticism
and English in the American University. His lead
writing for the Dial was collected in three
volumes, Little Leaders, Editorial Echoes, and
Various Views. He published one volume of poems in
his lifetime, Richard Wagner, A Cycle of Sonnets.
Payne was also actively involved in several Chicago social clubs,
including the Cliff Dwellers and the Chicago French Club, and was
secretary-treasurer for the Twentieth Century Club for 26 years. He never
married and passed away after a long illness on July 12, 1919.

| Primarily incoming letters from colleagues and readers of the
Dial, including Waldo Browne, Brander Matthews,
and Hobart C. Chatfield Taylor. Many are from authors thanking him for positive
reviews, and others compliment Payne on his book, Richard
Wagner, A Cycle of Sonnets or refer to his translations of and writings
on the Norweigian poet Björnstjerne Björnson. A significant amount of
correspondence is from Payne's lifelong friend Paul Shorey who became a
prominent classics scholar at the University of Chicago. The series also
includes correspondence from speakers appearing at the Twentieth Century Club,
a social club of which Payne was secretary-treasurer. There are a few letters
between Payne family members, and one letter from Payne to the Education
Commission of Chicago with his recommendations for the organization of public
schools. Records indicate that Payne only kept letters that he believed were
notable, so this is not a complete record of his correspondence.
