Henry Duff Traill (1842 1900) was a prolific journalist, satirist
and author. The son of a magistrate, he was called to the Bar in
1869 but began working as a journalist at the Yorkshire Post soon
afterwards. He contributed to several newspapers, acting as chief
political leader writer at The Daily Telegraph from 1882 to 1897
and editing The Observer for two years. He later became the editor
of Literature, holding this post until his death. Among his diverse
published works were six biographies, of which the most in-depth
was that of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Published in 1896
and drawing on personal documents provided by the Franklin family,
it provides a picture of Franklin's character and personal life,
alongside a detailed account of his career. Written fifty years
after Franklin's presumed death, this work also covers the
aftermath of his final ill-fated voyage in search of a north-west
passage.
