- Wren_Howard abstract "Wren Howard (1893 – 30 July 1968), full name George Wren Howard, was a British publisher. He was a co-founder with Cape of the publishing house of Jonathan Cape in 1921, and took over as chairman when Cape died in 1960. According to Ziegler he was a "trim, spruce figure of military appearance .... He had a fine eye for design, and it was largely due to him that Cape’s books became highly esteemed for their good looks and high standards of production". His "cautious precision complemented Cape’s more swashbuckling approach while reinforcing his reluctance to part with more money than was absolutely necessary" and "he was even more cheese-paring than his chairman" (i.e. Cape). He "actively disliked" authors, and as Cape felt "little affection" for them, fraternisation was left to the junior partner Rupert Hart-Davis. He was born in Hampstead, and resided there. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in World War I, and was awarded the Military Cross. He married Eileen in 1915, she died in 1950. They had one son and one daughter.".
