Hardin Craig

Hardin Craig (29 June 1875 – 13 October 1968) was an American Renaissance scholar and professor of English.

In his 65-year academic career, he served on the faculties of eight different colleges and universities, published more than 20 books as either author or editor, and was one of the few Americans to be elected to the Royal Society of Literature in Britain.

He began graduate study in 1898 at Princeton University under Thomas Marc Parrott, and took his M.A.

He returned to Princeton as an English instructor from 1903-1905, where he became one of Woodrow Wilson's first group of Edgerstoune School preceptors from 1905 to 1910.

He was the recipient of two festschrifts, the first, Renaissance Studies in Honor of Hardin Craig, at the occasion of his retirement from Stanford University, and another, Essays on Shakespeare and Elizabethan Drama in Honor of Hardin Craig in 1960 to commemorate his third retirement, from the University of Missouri.
