Autor

Frederic William Henry Myers was a British poet, classicist, philologist, and a key figure in the founding of the Society for Psychical Research. Born on February 6, 1843, in Keswick, United Kingdom, Myers became known for his work in psychical research and his influential ideas on the "subliminal self," though his theories were not widely accepted by the scientific community. His contributions spanned various disciplines, from poetry and classical studies to exploring the realms of the unconscious mind. Myers was educated at Trinity College, and his career also saw him actively engage with subjects of literature and philosophy. In 1880, he married Eveleen Myers, with whom he had two children, Leo and Sylvia. He passed away on January 17, 1901, in Rome, Italy, at the age of 57. Myers' legacy includes not only his literary and academic pursuits but also his attempts to investigate the supernatural and the unexplored aspects of human consciousness. His grandchildren, EQ Nicholson and Diana Mary Ponsonby Blennerhassett, were part of his extended family.
