Autor

Alfred William Pollard (1859-1944) was an eminent English scholar and bibliographer who left an indelible mark on the field of English literature and book history. Pollard was educated at King's College School in London and St John's College, Oxford, where he cultivated his interest in English literature and medieval manuscripts. His contributions to bibliography were profound, particularly through his work 'Records of the English Bible: The Documents Relating to the Translation and Publication of the Bible in English, 1525-1611'. Pollard's 'Fine Books' is another significant work that displays his vast knowledge and scholarly approach to the study of books. This book is often revered for its insights into the world of book collecting, typography, and the overall appreciation of book artistry. Renown for his meticulous research and literary criticism, Pollard was a key figure in the early twentieth-century literary scholarship. He was part of the wave of scholarship that sought to re-evaluate and systematically categorize early English literature. As a member of the Bibliographical Society and the editor of the 'New Shakespeare Quarto Facsimiles', Pollard's expertise was sought after by many. His legacy lies both in his academic works and in his influence on the evaluation and conservation of historical texts. Through his writings and tireless dedication, Pollard helped to shape the way we understand the material history of books and the development of English literature.
