R. A. (Richard Alfred) Davenport

d. 1852

A tireless English man of letters, he produced biographies, histories, anthologies, translations, and editions across a long and remarkably busy career. His life ended in striking isolation, adding a haunting note to the story of an author who spent decades filling shelves with work.
