William Watkiss Lloyd (11 March 1813 – 22 December 1893), was an English writer with an interest in fine art, architecture, archaeology, Shakespeare, and classical and modern languages and literature.^[1]

Life

Lloyd was born at Homerton, then in Middlesex, and educated at Newcastle-under-Lyme High School. At the age of 15 he entered a family tobacco business in London, where he remained until his retirement in 1864. In 1868 he married Ellen Brooker Beale (d. 1900). He died in London.^[2]

Works

The work for which he is best known is The Age of Pericles (1875), which is notable for its scholarship and appreciation of its period, but hampered by a difficult and at times obscure style. He wrote also:

Xanthian Marbles (1845)
Critical Essays upon Shakespeare's Plays (1875)
Christianity in the Cartoons [of Raphael] (1865), which excited considerable attention from the way in which theological questions were discussed.
The History of Sicily to the Athenian War with elucidations of the Sicilian odes of Pindar (1872)^[3]
Panics and their Panaceas (1869)
An edition of Much Ado about Nothing, "now first published in fully recovered metrical form" (1884) – the author held that all the plays were originally written throughout in blank verse.

A number of manuscripts remain unpublished, the most important of which have been bequeathed to the British Museum, including:

A Further History of Greece
The Century of Michael Angelo
The Neo-Platonists

These are discussed in "Memoir" by Sophia Beale, prefixed to Lloyd's posthumously published Elijah Fenton: his Poetry and Friends (1894), which contains a list of published and unpublished works.^[4]
