Hugh Stuart Boyd : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hugh Stuart Boyd Hugh Stuart Boyd (1781-1848), was an English Greek scholar, who taught Elizabeth Barrett Browning. ==Life== Boyd was born at Edgware. Before his birth his father, Hugh McAuley, took his wife's family name of Boyd. She was the daughter of Hugh Boyd of Ballycastle, Ireland, one of the supposed authors of the ''Letters of Junius''. His mother's maiden name was Murphy.〔''Dictionary of National Biography'', 1885–1900〕 Boyd was admitted a pensioner of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, on 24 July 1799, and matriculated on 17 December of the following year. He left the university without taking a degree.〔 He was able to live on the income from his Irish estates.〔 He had a good memory, and once made a curious calculation that he could repeat 3,280 'lines' of Greek prose and 4,770 lines of Greek verse. In 1833 he appears to have spent some time at Bath. During the last twenty years of his life he was blind. While blind he taught Greek to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who was very attached to him. One of her poems, the "Wine of Cyprus", is dedicated to Boyd. She also wrote a sonnet on his blindness and another on his death.〔 In 1805 he married Ann Lowry, daughter of the engraver Wilson Lowry.〔 They had one daughter, Ann Henrietta,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.browningscorrespondence.com/biographical-sketches/?id=143 )〕 who married Henry Hayes. Boyd lived chiefly at Hampstead, and died at Kentish Town on 10 May 1848.〔
