- Walter_William_Skeat_(anthropologist) abstract "Walter William Skeat ( 14 October 1866 – 24 July 1953) was an English anthropologist. He made a name for himself mainly with his pioneering investigations into, and writings on, the ethnography of the Malay Peninsula.Skeat was born in Cambridge in England. He was the son of Walter William Skeat the elder, Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Cambridge.On leaving school Skeat the younger studied classics at the University of Cambridge until 1891 where he earned an MA degree, after which he entered the civil service in Selangor, a state in what is now Malaysia. Soon he began to study the way of life of both the urbanised Malays near the coast and the aborigines dwelling inland. He prepared his first book in the years leading up to 1899, when he began to mount expeditions to the interior to study the anthropology and ethnography of Malays in areas beyond any marked European influence. His friend and associate Charles Otto Blagden saw the book through publication; it dealt with Malay magic and appeared in 1900.In association with Blagden Skeat subsequently produced his major work, Pagan races of the Malay Peninsula in 1906.In his travels into the interior he became too seriously ill to remain in the British Colonial Service, so he retired to London. In 1914 he became a lecturer at the British Museum. He retired in 1932 and died in London on 24 July 1953.".
