EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the scholarly brilliance and distinguished career of Francis Hodgson (1781-1852), a renowned scholar and Provost of Eton College. The image, created in the early 19th century, depicts Hodgson in the prime of his life, with a thoughtful expression and piercing gaze that speaks to his deep intellectual engagement. Born in London, Hodgson was educated at Eton College and went on to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. He quickly established himself as a formidable scholar, with a particular expertise in Greek and Roman literature. In 1815, he was appointed Provost of Eton College, a position he held for the next three decades. During his tenure at Eton, Hodgson transformed the school's curriculum, placing greater emphasis on classical studies and modern languages. He also oversaw the construction of new buildings, including the impressive Hodgson Library, which remains a treasured resource for scholars today. Hodgson was a prolific writer and editor, producing numerous works on classical literature and education. He was also a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the British Academy. In recognition of his many contributions to scholarship and education, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1846. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge and the education of future generations. With his penetrating gaze and scholarly demeanor, Hodgson remains a powerful symbol of the enduring importance of learning and the transformative power of education.
