About the author
T. D. Curtis is an author about whom very limited public information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal background cannot be confirmed. Four of his works are held in the collection, and they fall mainly into two seemingly distant fields: religion and cheese-making. His representative works The Cross and Crown and God indicate an interest in Christian faith and spiritual themes, while Hints on cheese-making, for the dairyman, the factoryman, and the manufacturer and Hints on Dairying address farmers, factory workers, and manufacturers, discussing the practical techniques of cheese-making and dairy production. This combination of religious writing and agricultural technical manuals gives him a distinctive and not easily categorized profile as an author. Lacking biographical material, we can presently know him only through the subjects and intended readership of his surviving works, and further details remain to be verified.
