  • William Mudford (* 8. Januar 1782 in London; † 10. März 1848 in London) war ein britischer Essayist und Journalist. Seine Kurzgeschichte gilt als Vorbild für Edgar Allan Poes The Pit and the Pendulum. Mudford war der Sohn eines kleinen Geschäftsmannes in Piccadilly, London. Er arbeitete früh als Journalist für Zeitschriften wie Blackwood’s und Fraser’s Magazine. Er erwarb als Autodidakt eine beachtliche Bildung, stand aber der formellen klassischen Bildung eher kritisch gegenüber. Politisch stand Mudfod lebenslang auf Seiten der Tories. Sein großer Gegner und Verächter war William Hazlitt. (de)
