William Darnall MacClintock was born on July 29, 1858 in Elizaville, Kentucky, the son of Alexander and Cornelia (Darnall) MacClintock. MacClintock received an A.B. from Kentucky Wesleyan College of Owensboro, Kentucky (1878) and an A.M. from Johns Hopkins University (1882). From 1892 to 1925 MacClintock was a professor of English at the University of Chicago. He was appointed professor emeritus in 1925. MacClintock married Lucia Porter Lander in 1886. The couple had four children—Lander, Paul, Hilda, and Elizabeth.

On both trips he sailed from San Francisco via Hawaii and Japan to the Philippines, stopping in China on the return trip.
MacClintock’s works include Some Paradoxes of the English Romantic Movement (1903) and Joseph Warton's Essay on Pope: A History of the Five Editions (1933).
