The Very Rev. Richard Henry Malden, B D, (19 October 1879 – August 1951),〔''The Very Rev. R. H. Malden.'' The Times (London, England), Tuesday, Aug 21, 1951; pg. 6; Issue 52085〕 Dean of Wells, was a prominent Anglican churchman, editor, classical and Biblical scholar, and a writer of ghost stories. ==Career== Educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, he was ordained deacon in 1904 and priest in 1905 by the Bishop of Manchester. He subsequently served as Assistant Curate at St Peter’s, Swinton, Salford, 1904–07; Lecturer at Selwyn College, Cambridge, 1907–10; Principal of Leeds Clergy School, and Lecturer of Leeds Parish Church, 1910–19. During the First World War he served as Acting Chaplain of HMS Valiant, January 1916–December 1917 and an Acting Chaplain, R N, 1916–18. His next appointment was as Vicar of St Michael and All Angels Church, Headingley, Leeds, 1918–33, later becoming Honorary Canon of Ripon, 1926–33, and Dean of Wells, 1933–50. He was also Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Norwich from 1910; Proctor in Convocation, 1924–33; Chaplain to the King, 1926–1933 and President of the Somerset Archaeological Society, 1943–44.〔Who Was Who, online edition (available by subscription), retrieved 25 May 2012〕 He served additionally as general editor of Crockford's Clerical Directory between 1921 and 1944. His main task in this respect was to write many of the anonymous prefaces for which the directory was becoming celebrated, offering an overview of recent events in the church. His other ecclesiastical commitments would have allowed little time for participating in the more routine aspects of producing the directory.〔() Church Times: two-part article ''Shop-talk and mordant wit'' by Christopher Currie & Glyn Paflin describing the background to the first hundred editions of Crockford's Clerical Directory, 6–13 December 2007〕 Between 1942-47 he also edited his local diocesan magazine, the Bath & Wells Diocesan Gazette.〔Crockford's Clerical Directory, 1949/50〕 His book of stories ''Nine Ghosts'' (1942) was compiled over many years and issued as a tribute to his long friendship with the writer M R James, who had been one of the most celebrated authors in this particular genre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Malden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
