Lewis Wright

Lewis Wright was a British author who lived from 1838 to 1905. Sources found for this profile consistently link him with influential poultry guides such as The Illustrated Book of Poultry, The Practical Poultry Keeper, and later Wright's Book of Poultry.

He appears to have written across more than one subject area. Library and catalog records also connect him with books on optics, projection, and microscopy, suggesting a writer who was comfortable turning practical knowledge into accessible reading for a broad audience.

Even from the limited biographical detail available online, a clear picture emerges: he was a prolific Victorian nonfiction writer whose books were valued enough to be preserved by major libraries and reference collections. He is remembered chiefly for poultry writing, but his scientific handbooks show a wider curiosity and a talent for clear instruction.
