  Theodore Watts-Dunton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodore Watts-Dunton (October 12, 1832 - June 6, 1914) was an English critic and poet.
Watts' household included his sister Miranda Mason, her husband Charles (who was also a solicitor), her son, Bertie (born 1874), and later a second sister.
Although Watts is widely praised for extending Swinburne's life and encouraging his enthusiasm for the landscape verse that was amongst the best of his later works, Watts is also castigated for sabotaging the completion of Swinburne's erotic sadomasochistic novel Lesbia Brandon.

 How Teddy Roosevelt Became a Cowboy, an excerpt from Rough Rider in the White House by Sarah Watts
Addressing the long-standing suspicion that Roosevelt's obsession with masculinity was connected to his policies, Watts comes up with some brilliant insights through the course of her search for the roots of his character.
In Twain's heroes, it was not virtuous character or principled action but a forceful physicality, totally male and forever young, that primed his idealized giants to ride over smaller beings and virgin landscapes, doing what Roosevelt later called the "world-work" of soldier statesmen.
