Frederick Wedmore

Frederick Wedmore (9 July 1844 – 25 February 1921) was a British art critic and man of letters.

After a short experience of journalism in Bristol he came to London in 1868, and began to write for The Spectator.

His early works included two novels, but the best examples of his prose are perhaps to be found in his volumes of short stories, Pastorals of France (1877), Renunciations (1893), Orgeas and Miradou (1896), reprinted in 1905 as A Dream of Provence.

As early as 1878 he had begun a long connection with the London Standard as art critic.
