Chorley) Wikipedia, viewed July 12, 2022 (John Rutter Chorley; born 31 July 1806, Blackley Hurst, Lancashire; died 29 June 1867, London); English author, bibliophile, and Hispanist (also interested in other Romance studies); older brother of the author and critic Henry Fothergill Chorley (1808-1872); in addition to his career in railway administration as corporate secretary to the Grand Junction Railway between Liverpool and Birmingham, he worked as a private tutor. In 1845 a bequest from his uncle made him independently wealthy, and he retired and moved to London. With help from George Ticknor, Cayetano Alberto de la Barrera (1815-1872) and experts at the British Museum, Chorley became a significant collector as a bibliophile. From 1832-1846 he wrote primarily for Tait's Edinburgh Magazine, reviewing German, Italian, English, French and Spanish literature (29 contributions attributed). From 1834 onwards he also wrote occasionally for the Athenaeum, where he became principal reviewer of German, Italian and Spanish publications (1846-1854). By the late 1840s Chorley counted as an authority on Spanish Golden Age drama. Among his friends was Thomas Carlyle.)
