William Watkiss Lloyd (11 March 1813 – 22 December 1893), was an English writer with an interest in fine art, architecture, archaeology, Shakespeare, and classical and modern languages and literature. ==Life== Lloyd was born at Homerton, then in Middlesex, and educated at Newcastle-under-Lyme High School. At the age of 15 he entered a family tobacco business in London, where he remained until his retirement in 1864. In 1868 he married Ellen Brooker Beale (d. 1900). He died in London.〔; H. R. Tedder, "Lloyd, William Watkiss (1813–1893)", rev. Richard Smail, ODNB, Oxford University Press, 2004. (Retrieved 26 September 2014, pay-walled. )〕 The work for which he is best known is ''The Age of Pericles'' (1875), which is notable for its scholarship and appreciation of its period, but hampered by a difficult and at times obscure style. He wrote also: *''Xanthian Marbles'' (1845) *''Critical Essays upon Shakespeare's Plays'' (1875) *''Christianity in the Cartoons (Raphael )'' (1865), which excited considerable attention from the way in which theological questions were discussed. *''The History of Sicily to the Athenian War with elucidations of the Sicilian odes of Pindar'' (1872)〔 Online: ()〕 *''Panics and their Panaceas'' (1869) *An edition of ''Much Ado about Nothing'', "now first published in fully recovered metrical form" (1884) – the author held that all the plays were originally written throughout in blank verse. A number of manuscripts remain unpublished, the most important of which have been bequeathed to the British Museum, including: *''A Further History of Greece'' *''The Century of Michael Angelo'' *''The Neo-Platonists'' These are discussed in "Memoir" by Sophia Beale, prefixed to Lloyd's posthumously published ''Elijah Fenton: his Poetry and Friends'' (1894), which contains a list of published and unpublished works. 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「William Watkiss Lloyd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
