EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and distinguished character of David Masson (1822-1907), a renowned Scottish historian and biographer. Masson's scholarly pursuits spanned various fields, including history and belles-lettres, earning him the prestigious position of professor of rhetoric and belles-lettres at the University of Edinburgh. Born in Glasgow, Masson's early education was marked by a deep fascination with the classics and history. He went on to study at the University of Glasgow and later at Balliol College, Oxford, where he honed his skills as a historian and writer. Masson's prolific career saw him publish numerous works on Scottish history, biographies of notable figures, and studies on rhetoric and literature. One of his most significant contributions to Scottish history was his multi-volume work, "The Life of Mary, Queen of Scots." This meticulously researched biography brought new insights to the life and reign of the tragic monarch, and remains a seminal work in the field. Masson's other notable works include "The History of Scotland," a comprehensive account of Scottish history from ancient times to the modern era, and "The Life of John Knox," a biography of the influential Scottish Reformer. Masson's commitment to academic excellence and his passion for history left an indelible mark on Scottish intellectual life. His legacy continues to inspire scholars and students of history, as well as those interested in the rich and complex history of Scotland. This portrait, taken in the late 19th century, serves as a testament to Masson's enduring influence and intellectual prowess.
