# Henry Morley

Henry Forster Morley (Londres, 15 de setembro de 1822 — Carisbrooke, Ilha de Wight, 14 de maio de 1894) foi um escritor britânico sobre Literatura inglesa e um dos primeiros docentes seniores em universidades nessa cátedra.

## Vida

Filho de um boticário, nasceu em Hatton Garden, Londres, educado em uma escola moraviana na Alemanha, e no King's College de Londres, e após exercer a medicina e manter escolas em vários lugares, foi para Londres em 1850, e adotou a Literatura como sua profissão.
Morley escreveu para periódicos (incluindo Household Words e All the Year Round por Charles Dickens), e de 1859 a 1864 editou o Examiner.
De 1865 a 1889, foi professor de Literatura inglesa na University College London, onde, entre seus alunos estava Rabindranath Tagore. De 1882 a 1889 foi diretor da University Hall como Arthur Hugh Clough tinha sido uma geração antes. O edifício, no lado oeste da Gordon Square, no coração de Bloomsbury, naquele tempo também abrigava o Manchester New College, e agora é o prédio da Biblioteca Dr. Williams.
Sua biografia foi escrita por Henry Staen Solly, filho do proeminente reformador Henry Solly.

## Obras

Morley foi autor de várias biografias, incluindo Vidas de Bernard Palissy, Cornelius Agrippa, Girolamo Cardano e Clément Marot. Escreveu também introduções para dois livros escritos por John Locke - a edição de 1884 de "Two treatises on civil government", e a edição de 1889 da "Of civil government and toleration".
Seu principal trabalho, no entanto, foi English Writers (10 volumes 1864-1894), chegando até William Shakespeare. Seu First Sketch of English Literature - um estudo para um trabalho mais amplo - alcançou até sua morte a tiragem de 34 000 exemplares.
