About the author
Born in Weybridge in 1868, Arthur Clutton-Brock was an English essayist, critic, and journalist. He was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford, and was called to the Bar before turning his attention more fully to literary and critical work.
He became known for writing on art and literature, and also for wider reflections on religion, society, and public life. His career included editorial and criticism work for major British periodicals and newspapers, and his books ranged from studies of writers such as Shelley and William Morris to essays on books, Christianity, and gardening.
Clutton-Brock died in 1924. He is remembered as a versatile man of letters whose criticism was clear, thoughtful, and accessible rather than academic in tone.
