	Samuel Butler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The first Samuel Butler (1612-1680) was born in or near the town of Upton upon Severn in Worcestershire: he is remembered now for a satirical poem on Puritanism entitled "Hudibras".
		Butler pretends to write a fawning, heroic poem in praise of Hudibras and his exploits, but the poem is a mock heroic or parody.
		The second Samuel Butler was born on December 4, 1835, in Langar Rectory, near Bingham, Nottinghamshire, England.

	Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
		Samuel Butler was the second child and first son of Thomas Butler (1806-86) and Fanny (neé Worsley, d.1873), born on 4 December 1835 at Langar Rectory in Nottinghamshire, where his father had his parish.
		Butler was evidently extremely fond of Miss Savage, and was devastated when she died unexpectedly, but the relationship has only fuelled speculation on her feelings for him, his for her, and on Butler's sexuality itself.
		Butler's mother died in 1873, but although she is notionally the model for the horrible Christina Pontifex in The Way of All Flesh, very little is written about her influence on Butler throughout his whole life.

		Butler was born on December 4, 1835, at Langar Rectory near Bingham, Nottinghamshire, England.
		Although some critics have suggested that this friendship indicated Butler's intense longing for a son, Jones notes that the poem's publication caused Butler to be concerned that he might be regarded as another Oscar Wilde, whose trials caused a wave of antihomosexual feeling in English society in 1895 and afterward.
		Butler's other writings include The Authoress of the Odyssey (1897), in which he posits the idea that the Odyssey was written by a woman; and Shakespeare's Sonnets Reconsidered (1899), which contends that Shakespeare had become infatuated with a younger man who duped and betrayed him, a thesis that parallels his own sad relationship with Pauli.

	Samuel Butler Biography
		In 1872 his satirical novel Erewhon was published anonymously, causing some speculation as to the identity of the author; when Butler revealed himself as the author, there was some disappointment that it was not any of the more famous personages speculated about.
		The most authoritative biography of Samuel Butler was written by his friend Henry Festing Jones, the two-volume Samuel Butler, Author of Erewhon (1835-1902): A Memoir (commonly known as Jones's Memoir), published in 1919 and now only available from antiquarian booksellers.
		In the 1920s Butler's collected works were published (by Jonathan Cape) in twenty volumes as The Shrewsbury Edition of the Works of Samuel Butler, but only 750 copies were printed and a complete set (if it can be found at all) is unaffordable for the common reader.
