Alexander Fraser Tytler Woodhouselee Livres
Alexander Fraser Tytler, connu sous le nom de Lord Woodhouselee, était un avocat et écrivain écossais. Il occupa une chaire d'histoire universelle et d'antiquités classiques à l'Université d'Édimbourg. Son influence s'étendit au-delà du milieu universitaire, car il occupa également d'importantes fonctions judiciaires en Écosse. Tytler était un ami de Robert Burns, et ses conseils amenèrent Burns à supprimer des vers de son poème Tam o' Shanter qui étaient offensants pour les professions juridiques et cléricales.
