Edwin Arnold
Edwin Arnold (1832–1904) was a British poet and journalist best known for his work "The Light of Asia," a long narrative poem about the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Arnold was an advocate for Eastern philosophy and culture, and his writing helped introduce Western audiences to Buddhist teachings. He also worked as a journalist, serving as the editor of the Daily Telegraph in London for many years. In addition to "The Light of Asia," he authored works such as "Indian Poetry" and "The Song Celestial," a poetic translation of the Bhagavad Gita.
