Om författaren

John Nichol (1833-1894) was a Scottish educator, critic, poet, and playwright. His dramas and poetry were outshone by his notable contributions to the English Men of Letters series and his critical biography of the poet Robert Burns (1882).  His American Literature: An Historical Review, 1620-1880 (1882) was a groundbreaking work.
