George Frederick Morgan

George Frederick Morgan (April 25, 1922 – February 20, 2004) was a poet, the co-founder (1947) and long-time editor (1948–1998) of the literary quarterly The Hudson Review and an heir to a fortune built on soap.

Morgan attended Princeton University, where he studied under Allen Tate. Morgan also translated poems from the French. After serving with US forces in World War II, he and Joseph Bennett, another Princeton graduate and veteran, established the Hudson Review in 1948. He edited the quarterly from 1948 until 1998, when he stepped down.
