Thomas Butler, and See also:grandson of the foregoing, was See also:born at Langar, near See also:Bingham, See also:Nottinghamshire, on the 4th of See also:December 1835. He was educated at See also:Shrewsbury school, and at St See also:John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge. He took a high See also:place in the classical tripos of 1858, and was intended for the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church. His opinions, however, prevented his carrying out this intention, and he sailed to New See also:Zealand in the autumn of 1859. He owned a See also:sheep run in the Upper Rangitata See also:district of the See also:province of See also:Canterbury, and in less than five years was able to return See also:home with a moderate competence, most of which was afterwards lost in unlucky investments. The Rangitata district supplied the setting for his See also:romance of Erewhon, or Over the Range (1872), satirizing the Darwinian theory and conventional See also:religion. Erewhon had a sequel See also:thirty years later (1901) in Erewhon Revisited, in which the narrator of the earlier romance, who had escaped from Erewhon in a See also:balloon, finds himself, on revisiting the See also:country after a considerable See also:interval, the See also:object of a topsy-turvy cult, to which he gave the name of " Sunchildism." In 1873 he had published a See also:book of similar tendency, The See also:Fair Haven, which purported to be a "See also:work in See also:defence of the miraculous See also:element in our See also:Lord's See also:ministry upon See also:earth " by a fictitious J. P. See also:Owen, of whom he'wrote a memoir. Butler was a See also:man of See also:great versatility, who pursued his investigations in classical scholarship, in Shakespearian See also:criticism, See also:biology and See also:art with equal See also:independence and originality. On his return from New Zealand he had established himself at See also:Clifford's See also:Inn, and studied See also:painting, exhibiting regularly in the See also:Academy between 1868 and 1876. But with the publication of See also:Life and See also:Habit (1877) he began to recognize literature as his life work. The book was followed by three others, attacking Darwinism—Evolution Old and New, or the Theories of BuJon, Dr See also:Erasmus See also:Darwin and See also:Lamarck as compared with that of Mr C. Darwin (1879); Unconscious Memory (188o), a comparison between the theory of Dr E. Hering and the See also:Philosophy of the Unconscious of Dr E. von See also:Hartmann; and See also:Luck or Cunning (1886). He had a thorough knowledge of See also:northern See also:Italy and its art. In Ex Voto (1888) he introduced many English readers to the art of Tabachetti and Gaudenzio See also:Ferrari at Varallo. He learnt nearly the whole of the Iliad and the Odyssey by See also:heart, and translated both poems (1898 and 1900) into colloquial English See also:prose. In his Authoress of the Odyssey (1897) he propounded two theories: that the poem was the work of a woman, who See also:drew her own portrait in See also:Nausicaa; and that it was written at See also:Trapani, in See also:Sicily, a proposition which he supported by elaborate investigations on the spot. In another book on the See also:Shakespeare Sonnets (1899) he aimed at destroying the explanations of the orthodox commentators.
Butler was also a musician, or, as he called himself, a Handelian, and in See also:imitation of the See also:style of See also:Handel he wrote in collaboration with H. Festing See also:- JONES
