Scottish-born Stephen Graham (1884-1975) was best known for his travel narratives and his writings on Russian culture. His early travel writing appeared in British and American newspapers and magazines including the Times, Harper’s and the New Yorker. He spent much his early professional life traveling through Russia and became an authority on pre-revolutionary Russian culture. He often made his journeys on foot with minimal supplies and a dependence on the hospitality of others—a philosophy he called “tramping.” This travel approach lent itself to themes that resonated with Graham—a love of undisturbed nature, an aversion to materialism, compassion for the underprivileged, and an almost transcendent spirituality.
