author
Best known today for a biography of Oliver Goldsmith, this early-20th-century writer is a quiet, elusive figure whose work reflects a strong interest in literary lives and reputations.
Project Gutenberg identifies E. S. Lang Buckland as Ernest Segar Lang Buckland and records his death year as 1916. He is listed there as the author of Oliver Goldsmith, a biographical work that introduces Goldsmith's life, character, and literary importance for general readers.
Reliable biographical details about Buckland himself are scarce in the sources I could confirm. Based on the material available here, he appears to have been a writer of literary biography rather than a widely documented public figure, and his surviving reputation now rests mainly on his book about Goldsmith.
Because so little verified personal information was available, it is best to read Buckland through his work: a concise, accessible life of a major author, written in a style meant to bring literary history within reach of ordinary readers.
