G. B. Harrison (July 14, 1894 – November 1, 1991) was one of the leading Shakespeare experts of his time and the editor of the Shakespeare Penguin Classics. During his professional career, Harrison was an English professor at both Queen's University and the University of Michigan. He was a firm believer in traditional Catholicism and was a member of the Advisory Committee of the (International Commission of English in the Liturgy ). The Advisory Committee was in charge of overseeing and organizing work on a modern English translation of the Latin Mass.〔 In his lifetime, Harrison had an active part in both World Wars and lived a civilian's life in four countries.
==Early life and education==
G. B. Harrison was born George Bagshawe Harrison on July 14, 1894 in Hove, Sussex, England. He was christened after his grandfather on his father's side, and the middle name of Bagshawe was derived from his mother's side of the family. Although both of his parents envisioned high aspirations to fit a namesake that joined both sides of the family, an older Harrison wrote in his memoir that he "would have none of it."〔 His father, Walter Harrison, had a master's degree in dentistry from Harvard and married Ada Louise Bagshawe. G. B. Harrison was the second oldest. He succeeded Walter Parker, and was followed by Richard. Harrison grew up being read to and soon he and Walter were demanding their favorite stories and seeking new ones. His mother took him to a kindergarten for both boys and girls where Harrison slowly expanded his interest in reading until he could read for himself.〔 Walter Harrison Sr. often took the boys to London for royal pageants and parades, popular in their time and giving way to vast crowds in Trafalgar Square.〔 At the age of seven, Harrison continued his early education at the Brighton and Hove Boys' Preparatory School: Crescent House. Harrison furthered his education at Brighton College in order to receive the full "public school education." 〔 He attended Queens' College, Cambridge from 1913-1914 and again from 1919-1920 and received First Class Honors in English Tripos, as well as a BA degree. In 1923, he earned an MA degree. Later, in 1928, Harrison earned a PhD in London (Harrison's Resume).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/b/bhlead/umich-bhl-851423?rgn=Entire+Finding+Aid;size=25;sort=occur;start=1;subview=standard;type=simple;view=reslist;q1=G.+B.+Harrison )〕
During and after his college education, Harrison served in both World Wars. For most of World War I, Harrison was based in Lucknow, India as a Second Lieutenant in the 5th Queen's R. W. S. Regiment. He noted that his regiment consisted of the only white troops in the garrison. Harrison wrote his parents nearly every day and noted the everyday aspects of life from training exercises and drills, to pickup sports matches, to sightseeing excursions. He kept careful track of whether or not he received mail in reply and often reminded his parents that their letter writing frequency was not quite up to par. The Christmas package that they sent, was, Harrison feared, at the bottom of the ocean, along with the ship that had been carrying it. Later on, Harrison was stationed in Mesopotamia (G. B. Harrison letters to parents).〔 In World War II, Harrison became a Supplies Officer and later worked in Intelligence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= )〕
