Cloudesley Brereton (1863–1937) was a British educationalist and writer with a particular interest in the teaching of modern languages.
[1] Taking an interest in the academic training of language teachers, he worked for closer intellectual exchange with both Germany and France.
[4] Apart from his contributions to educational journals and to the 14th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1929–1930), Brereton wrote poetry and non-fiction books, and translated French works into English.
In 1905 he translated Gabriel Tarde's dystopian science fiction novel, Fragment d'histoire future (1904) as Underground Man.
Brereson and R. Ashley Audra, with the assistance of W. Horsfall Carter, translated Bergson's The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1935).
