Charles Eliot Norton was a major figure in American journalism, letters and education. Norton was editor of the North American Review and a founder of the Nation. He was the leading American Dantist of his day, translating the Vita Nuova and the Divine Comedy in what became standard versions. He initiated art history in the college curriculum, organized the field of classical archaeology in the USA and formulated what has come to be known in college courses as Western Civilization.
