Giles, Henry, 1809-1882
Variant namesHide Profile
Henry Giles was a Unitarian minister and critic. Born in Ireland, he converted to Unitarianism and spoke throughout Great Britain, finally emigrating to the United States. He spoke to Unitarian congregations in New England, and began publishing essays, mostly on literature, but also on history and social issues. His criticism is observant and in many ways ahead of its time, but perhaps because of his duties as minister, his writing seems patterned and somewhat unfinished.
