William Allan Neilson

    William Allan Neilson was een Schots-Amerikaanse pedagoog en schrijver wiens kritische werken diep ingingen op William Shakespeare en het Elizabethaanse theater. Zijn wetenschap werd gekenmerkt door een diep begrip van literaire teksten en hun historische contexten. Naast zijn kritische analyses was Neilson ook redacteur van belangrijke Shakespeare-uitgaven en droeg hij bij aan de lexicografie. Zijn minder bekende vertaling van de roman Sir Gawain and the Green Knight onderstreept bovendien de breedte van zijn literaire interesses.
