Why Is Arthur Charles Lewis Brown Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Arthur Charles Lewis Brown was an American scholar who wrote on the origin of Arthurian Romances. Biography Brown was born in Avon, New York, son of Rev. Charles Fortune and Sarah C. Brown. His father was a popular Episcopal missionary and priest who authored Christ on the Throne of Power and Antichrist: A Treatise on the Book of Revelation, to St. John the Divine in 1885. Given his Episcopal upbringing, in 1883, Arthur attended and graduated Hobart College, the oldest Episcopal college in America. In 1896, he assumed a teaching post with Haverford College in Pennsylvania, where he began his studies of the legends of King Arthur. He returned to school at Harvard, earning his Ph.D in 1900, and continued his post-doctoral work as a Rogers Traveling Fellow of Harvard at Universities of Paris and Freiburg 1900-1901. His doctoral dissertation attempted to find a connection between the story of King Arthur and Celtic folklore. The thesis, “The Round Table Before Wace” is still often quoted and argued among scholars and historians. As a graduate student at Harvard, Brown had stated that “he detested the elective system” in American education, which Harvard President Eliot had indoctrinated, and throughout his career he would maintain that a true liberal education could only be one that embraced “the 'noble' subjects, Latin and Greek, mathematics, and philosophy.”
