George Gregory Smith

Prof George Gregory Smith (20 June 1865 – 3 March 1932) was a Scottish literary critic.

In his ''Scottish Literature: Character and Influence'' (1919) Smith coined the term 'Caledonian antisyzygy' to describe what he perceived as a union of opposites, or an oscilation between realism and the supernatural, in the work of Scottish authors. He corresponded with Mark Twain, and also lived in Florence for a while.

He died in London but is buried with his wife Mary east of the western path in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh. Provided by Wikipedia
