Thomas Keightley (1789–1872) was an Irish historian and mythologist, recognized for his thorough scholarship in folklore and literature. Keightley was born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. His pursuits in the field of historical writing were diverse, but his works on folklore, such as 'The Fairy Mythology' (1828), stand out for their methodical approach and have had a lasting impact in the study of mythological and folkloric traditions. On literary criticism, Keightley made notable contributions as well. His work 'The Shakespeare-Expositor: An Aid to the Perfect Understanding of Shakespeare's Plays' (1867) is an example of his meticulous analysis of classical literature. In this volume, Keightley offers insightful commentary on Shakespeare's writings, aiming to clarify the Bard's intentions and elucidating obscure references for Victorian readers. His literary style often merged academic rigor with accessible prose, rendering his texts valuable to both scholarly audiences and the general public.
