Charles Francis Keary (29 March 1848 – 25 October 1917) was an English scholar and historian.[1][2][3] His later work as a novelist influenced the modernist writer James Joyce. However, the English novelist George Gissing read four of Keary's works, including three novels, in the first 31 days of 1896, and found the novel Herbert Vanlennert, "a long, conscientious, uninspired book".[4]
