BiographyNutt was born in London, the eldest son of publisher David Nutt. His mother was the granddaughter of another well-known publisher, William Miller. He was educated at the University College London School, University College London and at College de Vitry-le-François, in Vitry-le-François, northeast France. He spent three years serving a business apprenticeship in Leipzig, Berlin, and Paris, before taking over his late father's business in 1878.{{clarify|date=October 2016|reason=from whom, if David Nutt died 1863?}} Nutt founded The Folk-Lore Journal (now Folklore).[1] He was elected president of the Folklore Society in 1897. Nutt was a friend and supporter of Jessie Weston, sharing her interest in Celtic origins of the Grail legend, and publishing some of her books. He was also associated with Whitley Stokes, Eleanor Hull and Kuno Meyer and his work had a substantial influence on the scholarship of Roger Sherman Loomis.[1] He was also instrumental to the establishment of the Irish Texts Society and his firm published the early volumes of Society from 1899 to 1914. Nutt produced numerous works of scholarship in his own right, including Studies on the legend of the holy grail, with special reference to the hypothesis of its Celtic origin and his collaboration with Meyer on The Voyage of Bran, Son of Febal, to the Land of the Living. He wrote studies of the Mabinogion and was working on an annotated edition of Matthew Arnold's Study of Celtic Literature at the time of his death.[1] Nutt drowned in the Seine on 21 May 1910 while attempting to rescue his invalid 17-year-old son who had been dragged into the river when his horse bolted. His wife M. L. Nutt succeeded him as head of the firm.[1] Further reading
