About the author
William Barrett Cooper was a British author born in 1857. He is known from library and public-domain records as the writer of The Life and Work of William Tindale, a short biographical study first published in the 1920s.
That book centers on William Tyndale, the English Bible translator and Reformation figure, and suggests Cooper wrote for readers interested in church history, Protestant thought, and accessible biography rather than academic specialists.
Little else about Cooper's personal life was confirmed in the sources I found, so his published work remains the clearest guide to his interests. Even so, his association with Tyndale places him among the many early modern religious biographers who helped keep Reformation history in circulation for general readers.
