Autorenporträt

William Alexander Clouston (1843-23 October 1896) was a Scottish 19th-century folklorist from Orkney. A Supplement to Alliborne's Dictionary (1891, 349-350), as cited in Folklore, provides the following biographical information: Born in 1843 in Stromness, Orkney Islands, to an old Norse family, he began his career in commercial pursuits in Glasgow and London before turning to journalism and literature; he edited several Scotch provincial newspapers from 1871 to 1879 and writes for the Glasgow Herald, Evening Times, and other publications. He has paid special attention to Oriental fiction and folklore, and has contributed to Sir R. F. Burton's "Supplemental Arabian Nights" parallels and variations on several of the tales in volumes I-III.
