About the Authors
George Lyman Kittredge (February 28, 1860 - July 23, 1941) was a celebrated professor and scholar of English literature at Harvard University. His scholarly edition of the works of William Shakespeare, along with his writings and lectures on Shakespeare and other literary figures, made him one of the most influential American literary critics of the early 20th century. Kittredge was also of great importance in American folklore studies, continuing the work of his mentor, Francis James Child, the first person to hold a chair at Harvard dedicated to the study of English literature. Child authored a definitive five-volume comparative study of the English and Scottish popular ballad. As a folklorist, Kittredge was instrumental in encouraging American folk song and folklore collecting among all ethnic groups in all regions of the country.
Frank Edgar Farley brought his expertise as a Professor of English Literature at Wesleyan University to this collaborative work, combining academic rigor with practical application.
