Francis George Fowler

Francis George Fowler (18711918), familiarly known as F.G. Fowler, was an English writer on language and grammar.

He was a graduate of Cambridge University and lived on Guernsey in the Channel Islands. He and his brother Henry Watson Fowler co-wrote the influential The King's English, published in 1906. The brothers Fowler worked on what was to become Fowler's Modern English Usage but before it was completed, F.G. died of tuberculosis at age forty-seven.

Henry dedicated his Modern English Usage to Francis, writing "he had a nimbler wit, a better sense of propriety, and a more open mind, than his twelve-year older partner."
