Wilbur Cortez Abbott

Wilbur Cortez Abbott (Kokomo, 28 dicembre 1869Boston, 3 febbraio 1947) è stato uno storico e insegnante statunitense.

Biografia

Nacque nello Stato dell'Indiana nel 1869. I suoi genitori erano Thomas ed Eleanor Abbott. Studiò al Wabash College, per poi proseguire gli studi universitari presso diversi prestigiosi istituti quali Cornell, Yale, Harvard e Oxford; ottenendo varie lauree specialistiche e honoris causa. A partire dal 1893 fu per un certo periodo docente presso le scuole superiori dell'Indiana. Iniziò in seguito la carriera come professore di storia in numerosi istituti universitari di spicco degli USA, tra cui proprio Harvard dove fu sostituto di Harold Laski. Allo stesso tempo portò avanti uno studio approfondito riguardo le vicende relative allo statista inglese del XVII secolo Oliver Cromwell, di cui fu un grande ammiratore, tanto da diventarne uno dei massimi esperti in merito. Lo storico Dana Carleton Munro candidò Abbott al Premio Nobel per la letteratura nell'edizione del 1920.[1] Si ritirò dall'insegnamento nel 1941 e dedicò il resto della sua vita alla ricerca e alla scrittura. Morì nel 1947 a Boston, capitale del Massachusetts.[2]
