Autor

William Wetmore Story (1819–1895) was a multifaceted American figure, renowned for his accomplishments as a sculptor, art critic, poet, and editor, in addition to his work as a legal scholar. Born into a distinguished family, son of the eminent jurist Joseph Story, William initially followed in his father's footsteps, practicing law after graduating from Harvard Law School. However, his enduring legacy would not be in legal work but in the arts. He eventually settled in Rome, where he became a prolific neoclassical sculptor, contributing significantly to the American expatriate art scene. Story's contributions to literature are equally notable. His notable work, 'A Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem: First Century' showcases his deep understanding of legalisms and the societal structures of the past. This book is a testament to his literary skill—blending historical insight with narrative flair. His literary style often reflected his scholarly pursuits and artistic sensibilities, making significant use of classical references and themes from antiquity. Over the course of his life, Story's oeuvre included not only legal and historical works but also poetry and prose, reflecting a Renaissance man who embodied the values of knowledge and creativity that he advocated for both in writing and sculpture.
