Sir William Schwenck Gilbert was the most brilliant dramatist of Victorian England. He was also a prolific journalist and humorous poet and he achieved worldwide fame through his long collaboration with Arthur Sullivan on the Savoy Operas.

To many he seemed difficult and quarrelsome but to others he showed both kindness and generosity.

He was responsible for the building of London's Garrick Theatre and was knighted in 1907.
