Autorenporträt
HENRY WATSON FOWLER (1858-1933) originally worked as a lexicographer and English schoolmaster but eventually chose to become a freelance writer. His explanation of the principles of the English language began with The King's English, which he wrote in collaboration with his brother, Francis. FRANCIS GEORGE FOWLER (1871-1918) collaborated with his brother, Henry, to write The King's English. Subsequently, he worked with Henry on the launch of A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, until Francis's premature death at the age of 47.
