Notes
Henry Montague Butler (1833–1918), after twenty-six years as Headmaster of Harrow School, became Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1886.
P. S. Worsley (1835–66) published translations of Homer in 1861 and 1865.
Charles Stuart Calverley (1831–84), remembered for his witty verses and parodies.
Heinrich Schliemann (1822–90), German archaeologist, had excavated Troy in 1870–82. Tennyson had dined with Schliemann in London in 1877; when Schliemann remarked that ‘Hissarlik, the ancient Troy, is no bigger than the courtyard of Burlington House’, Tennyson retorted ‘I can never believe that’ (Memoir, II, p. 217 ).
Hartley Coleridge (1796–1849), minor poet and and eldest son of S. T. Coleridge.
Frederick Apthorp Paley (1815–88), classical scholar; his translations of Aeschylus began to appear in 1849.
Charles James Blomfield (1786–1857) published editions of several plays by Aeschylus from 1810.
