About the author
Born in 1814 and remembered as both a clergyman and a writer, he published across a surprisingly wide range of subjects rather than sticking to one narrow field.
His known works include Education for the People (1846), Julius Cæsar: Did He Cross the Channel? (1866), Merlin and Arthur (1871), and William Shakespere, of Stratford-on-Avon (1888). Taken together, they suggest a curious, argumentative author drawn to history, literature, legend, and public debate.
Library and archive records list him as Scott Frederick Surtees, with the dates 1814–1889. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
