which managed to criticise the great Victorian poets of Tennyson, Arnold, Swinburne and Browning without an undue measure of negativity. With the death of Tennyson in 1892 a number of candidates were looked at for the post of Poet Laureate.   Finally in 1896 after it was rejected by William Morris the post was Austin’s.  His work was entwined with his love of Nature and he is a fine example of this Imperial age. His poems have a softness, texture and comfort that is deeply rewarding.

His own words best represent how he came to be so well regarded: “My poems represent, on the whole, the main movement of mind of the last quarter of a century, and thus they will probably have their day as people become conscious to themselves of what that movement of mind is”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmong the readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/pages\/matthew-arnold\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Arnold Biography\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eIn this compilation - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"302\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"302\" data-value=\"01 -

She helped with her Father in law’s business and upon his death he left much to Charlotte and her children but this inheritance was tied up in legal wranglings that lasted for 40 years and became the inspiration for Dickens' central case in Bleak House.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer husband's spending landed him in prison and as was allowed at the time, Charlotte moved in to join him.  It was here in 1784, that she wrote and published her first work, Elegiac Sonnets.  It was an instant success, allowing Charlotte to pay for their release from prison and contributing to a revival of the sonnet.  Charlotte moved to Chichester where she began to write novels believing she could earn more from their sale and rather unusually publishing all her work under her own name.  Her first novel, Emmeline in 1788, was a success and in the next decade she wrote nine more.  However, despite their initial success, her finances were a constant source of concern and she was often in debt being forced to move home frequently and impacting on declining health.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1803, Smith was again poverty-stricken with severe gout which made writing painful and later almost paralysed her. On 23 February 1806, Charlotte finally received some of the inheritance, but was too ill to do anything with it and died on October 28th 1806.  William Wordsworth described her as a poet \"to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compilation - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"669\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"669\"\u003e01 - Charlotte Smith - An Introduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet I\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 - Charlotte Smith - Ode To the Poppy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet IV - To the Moon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e06 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet V - To the South Downs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet VI - To Hope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e08 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet VII - Sweet Poet of the Woods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet VIII - To Spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 - Charlotte Smith - Beachey Head \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 - Charlotte Smith - Love and Folly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XIII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XIV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 - Charlotte Smith - The Snow Drop \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XVII - From the Thirteenth Cantata of Metastasio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XVIII - To the Earl of Egremont TWO FRONTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 - Charlotte Smith - The First Swallow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXVIII - To Friendship\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 - Charlotte Smith - The Female Exile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXXII - To Melancholy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXXIV - Charmed By Thy Suffrage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXXV - To Fortitude\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXXVII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 - Charlotte Smith - Sonnet XXXIX - To Night.

Pope attempted to \"regularise\" Shakespeare's metre and rewrote some of his verse and cut 1500 lines, that Pope considered to be beneath the Bard’s standard, to mere footnotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexander Pope died on May 30th, 1744 at his villa at Twickenham (where he created his famous grotto and gardens) and was buried in the nave of the nearby Church of England Church - St Mary the Virgin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years and centuries since his death Pope’s work has been in and out of favour but with this distance he is now truly recognised as one of England’s greatest poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compilation - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"438\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"438\"\u003e01 - Alexander Pope - An Introduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 - from The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 - In Imitation of Chaucer by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 - In Imitation of Spenser by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 - In Imitation of Doctor Swift by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e06 - In Imitation of Cowley by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 - An Essay on Man by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e08 - Universal Prayer by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09 - Ode on St Cecilia's Day by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 - Weeping by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 - Solitude by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 - On a Certain Lady at Court by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 - Farewell to London in the Year 1715 by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 - Summer by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 - Lines Written in Windsor Forest by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 - Elegy to the Memory of An Unfortunate Lady by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 - The Dying Christian To His Soul by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 - On Colley Cibber by Alexander Pope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 - The Dunciad.

The facts of his early life remain unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrayton first published, in 1590, a volume of spiritual poems; The Harmony of the Church.  Ironically the Archbishop of Canterbury seized almost the entire edition and had it destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1593 he published Idea: The Shepherd's Garland, 9 pastorals celebrating his own love-sorrows under the poetic name of Rowland. This was later expanded to a 64 sonnet cycle.\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;With the publication of The Legend of Piers Gaveston, Matilda and Mortimeriados, later enlarged and re-published, in 1603, under the title of The Barons' Wars. His career began to gather interest and attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1596, The Legend of Robert, Duke of Normandy, another historical poem was published, followed in 1597 by England's Heroical Epistles, a series of historical studies, in imitation of those of Ovid. Written in the heroic couplet, they contain some of his finest writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other poets of his era, Drayton wrote for the theatre; but unlike Shakespeare, Jonson, or Samuel Daniel, he invested little of his art in the genre. Between 1597 and 1602, Drayton was a member of the stable of playwrights who worked for Philip Henslowe. Henslowe's Diary links Drayton's name with 23 plays from that period, and, for all but one unfinished work, in collaboration with others such as Thomas Dekker, Anthony Munday, and Henry Chettle. Only one play has survived; Part 1 of Sir John Oldcastle, which Drayton wrote with Munday, Robert Wilson, and Richard Hathwaye but little of Drayton can be seen in its pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy this time, as a poet, Drayton was well received and admired at the Court of Elizabeth 1st. If he hoped to continue that admiration with the accession of James 1st he thought wrong.  In 1603, he addressed a poem of compliment to James I, but it was ridiculed, and his services rudely rejected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1605 Drayton reprinted his most important works; the historical poems and the Idea. Also published was a fantastic satire called The Man in the Moon and, for the for the first time the famous Ballad of Agincourt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1598 he had worked on Poly-Olbion, a work to celebrate all the points of topographical or antiquarian interest in Great Britain. Eighteen books in total, the first were published in 1614 and the last in 1622.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1627 he published another of his miscellaneous volumes.  In it Drayton printed The Battle of Agincourt (an historical poem but not to be confused with his ballad on the same subject), The Miseries of Queen Margaret, and the acclaimed Nimphidia, the Court of Faery, as well as several other important pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrayton last published in 1630 with The Muses' Elizium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Drayton died in London on December 23rd, 1631.  He was buried in Westminster Abbey, in Poets' Corner.  A monument was placed there with memorial lines attributed to Ben Jonson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compilation - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"371\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"371\"\u003e01 - The Poetry of Michael Drayton - An Introduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 - The Ballad of Agincourt by Michael Drayton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 - To The Virginian Voyage by Michael Drayton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 - Woodstock.

Like his siblings, including famed poet Christina Georgina Rossetti, he most wished to be a poet but had a keen eye as a painter, having shown a great interest in Medieval Italian art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais they developed and founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It’s mission; to reform English art and return to the detail, intense colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brotherhood's magazine, The Germ, was first published in 1850 with Rossetti contributing a poem, \"The Blessed Damozel\", and a story about a fictional Italian artist inspired by a vision of a woman who bids him combine the human and the divine in his art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRossetti first met his future wife, Elizabeth Siddal, a model, in 1849 who was later sitting for him and involved in an intense relationship.  By 1852 they withdrew from society; totally absorbed in each other. The lovers nicknamed each other; \"Guggums\" and \"Dove\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1861, Rossetti, together with William Morris, became a founding partner in the decorative arts firm, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner \u0026amp; Co. Rossetti contributed designs for stained glass and other decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile his marriage to Lizzie was troubled.  The terrible hurt of Rossetti’s affairs with other women had caused her stress leading to depression and other illnesses. She now began to take, and become addicted to, laudanum. In 1861, Lizzie became pregnant but the resultant birth was a stillborn daughter.  Lizzie’s post-partum depression was followed by an overdose of laudanum the following year.  Rossetti was devastated and, at her funeral in Highgate Cemetery, he buried the bulk of his unpublished poems with her body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoetry and painting are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures, while also creating art to illustrate poems such as \"Goblin Market\" by his sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis personal life was closely woven into his work, especially his relationships with his models and muses.  William Morris’s wife, Jane, regularly sat for him during the next few years, and it was said she \"consumed and obsessed him in paint, poetry, and life\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring these years, Rossetti was prevailed upon by friends to exhume his poems from his wife's grave which he eventually did, collating and publishing them in 1870.  Their eroticism and sensuality caused much offence. One, \"Nuptial Sleep\", described a couple falling asleep after sex.

At Cambridge he had developed a reputation for poetic skill but also experienced alienation from his peers and university life as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next 6 years were spent in private study. He read both ancient and modern works of theology, philosophy, history, politics, literature and science, in preparation for a poetical career.  Milton mastered Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Spanish, and Italian.

Upon the Restoration in May 1660, Milton went into hiding for his life. An arrest warrant was issued and his writings burnt. He re-emerged after a general pardon was issued, but was nevertheless arrested and briefly imprisoned before influential friends, such as Marvell, now an MP, intervened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis third marriage was to Elizabeth Mynshull.

He once argued that most people drank more liquids than they really needed and bet that he could go without drinking for a week. He persisted until his tongue was black and he collapsed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 1866 Hopkins composed his most ascetic poem, The Habit of Perfection but a few days later he included poetry in the list of things to be given up for Lent. In July he decided to become a Catholic and by May 1868 Hopkins firmly \"resolved to be religious.\" Less than a week later, he made a bonfire of his poems and ceased to write for almost seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1874 Hopkins returned to the Society of Jesus at Manresa House, Roehampton to teach classics. While he was studying in the Jesuit house of theological studies in North Wales, he was asked to write a poem to commemorate the foundering of a German ship in a storm. So in 1875 he was moved to take up poetry once more and write a lengthy poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, inspired by the Deutschland maritime disaster in which 157 people died, including five nuns.  The poem was accepted but not printed by a Jesuit publication. This rejection fed his ambivalence about his poetry. Most of his poetry remained unpublished until after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHopkins chose the austere and restrictive life of a Jesuit and was at times gloomy. The brilliant student who had left Oxford with a first-class honours degree failed his final theology exam and although ordained in 1877, Hopkins would not progress in the order. That same year he wrote God’s Grandeur, and sonnets including The Starlight Night and finished The Windhover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1884 he became professor of Greek and Latin at University College Dublin. His English roots, his disagreement with current Irish politics, as well as his own small stature (5'2\"), shy nature and personal foibles meant that he was not an effective teacher. This and his isolation in Ireland deepened his gloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final years of his life continued to find him in a depressed state and to restrict his poetic inspiration. His extremely heavy work load coupled with the dislike of living in Dublin, away from England and friends meant his health further deteriorated, even his eyesight began to fail. As a devout Jesuit, he found himself in an artistic dilemma. To subdue any egotism which would violate the humility required by his religious position, he decided never to publish his poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter suffering several bouts of diarrhoea, Gerard Manley Hopkins died of typhoid fever on 8th June, 1889 at the early age of 44.

His father died aged only 47 in 1853. A year later his mother remarried and the family relocated to Rochdale, where his stepfather was the vicar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1854 Bridges was sent to Eton College and attended until 1863.  After Eton he went to Corpus Christi College at Oxford. There he became good friends with Gerard Manley Hopkins and would later compile an edition of his poems that is now considered a major contribution to English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe graduated from Oxford, in 1867, with a second-class degree in literae humaniores.  Initially he planned to join the Church of England and travelled to the Middle East to broaden his religious horizons.  However, he soon decided that life as a physician would be a better path and, after 8 months studying German (that being the language of many scientific papers at the time) he began his study of medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in 1869.  His long-term ambition was that by the age of forty he could retire from medicine to devote himself to writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately Bridges failed his final medical examinations in 1873 and, as unable to immediately retake the papers, spent six months in Italy learning Italian as well as immersing himself in its art. In July 1874 he went to Dublin to continue his medical studies. Re-examined in December he passed and became a house physician at St Bartholomew's Hospital. It was whilst here that he engaged in a series of highly critical remarks about the Victorian medical establishment. One such was his claim that whilst working as a young doctor he saw a staggering 30,940 patients in one year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bout of severe pneumonia and lung disease forced his retirement from the medical profession in 1882 and so, slightly ahead of schedule, he began his literary career in earnest.  He already been writing for several years and had published his first poetry collection in 1873.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter his illness and a trip to Italy, Bridges moved, with his mother, to Yattendon in Berkshire.  It was during this time, from 1882 to 1904, that Bridges wrote most of his best-known lyrics as well as eight plays and two masques, all in verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was also here, in 1884, that he married Monica Waterhouse. They would go on to have three children and spend the rest of their lives in rural seclusion, in an idyllic marriage, first at Yattendon, then at Boars Hill, Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridges made an important contribution to hymnody with the publication in 1899 of his Yattendon Hymnal. This collection of hymns became a bridge between the Victorian hymnody of the late 19th century and the modern hymnody of the early 20th century. He was also a chorister at Yattendon church for 18 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1902 Monica and his daughter Margaret became seriously ill with tuberculosis, and a move from Yattendon to a healthier climate was in order. After several temporary homes they moved abroad to spend a year in Switzerland before returning to settle again in England at Chilswell House, which Bridges had designed, and built on Boar's Hill overlooking Oxford University. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis greatest achievement though was still some years ahead of him.  The office of Poet Laureate was held by Alfred Austin but with his death it was offered first to Rudyard Kipling, who refused it, and then to Bridges. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1913 by George V, the only medical graduate to have ever held the office. Bridges, at this time, was neither highly regarded nor well known but a safe pair of hands in a World rapidly being overshadowed by the storms about to erupt over Europe and the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe events of this War, including the wounding of his son, Edward, had a sobering effect on Bridges' poetry. His work became fiercely patriotic. In 1915 edited a volume of prose and poetry, The Spirit of Man, intended to appeal to readers living in war times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being poet laureate Bridges was never a very well-known poet and only achieved popularity shortly before his death with The Testament of Beauty.  Many of his poems though were set to music by such noted composers as Gustav Holst, Hubert Parry and Gerald Finzi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Testament of Beauty, for which he was to receive an Order of Merit, was begun on Christmas Day, 1924, with an initial 14 lines. He set the piece aside until 1926, when the death of his daughter Margaret prompted him to resume work as a way to ease his grief. It was published in October 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Seymour Bridges' health was failing and, undermined by cancer and its complications, he died at his home, Chilswell, on 21st April 1930.  His ashes are buried near the family cross in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul's Church, Yattendon, Berkshire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21771107827790,"sku":"AB-9192","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/products\/9781787809192_The_Poetry_of_Robert_Seymour_Bridges.jpg?v=1594080699"},{"product_id":"the-poetry-of-john-clare-audiobook","title":"John Clare, The Poetry Of (Audiobook)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead by Richard Mitchley, Ghizela Rowe \u0026amp; Gideon Wagner (Unabridged: 1hr 16mins)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Clare was born on 13th July, 1793 in Helpston, a few miles north of Peterborough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchooled only until the age of 12 his early career was that of agricultural labourer, pot boy, gardener and lime burner.  His early life of hardship and frequent malnutrition led to his diminutive stature of five feet and contributed to his later health problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1820 his first poems were published and began to earn him a reputation as the “Northamptonshire Peasant Poet”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis poetry sold well but only occasionally did that and other incomes keep his head above water.  Married with seven children the burden was huge and demanding.  Frequently penniless his health began to dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe last published in 1835 and by 1837 with his drinking out of control and his mental state shredded he entered a mental institution.  He was to reside in such unhappy places until his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died aged 71 on 20th May 1864.

The following year \"Poems and Ballads\" brought him instant notoriety. He was now identified with \"indecent\" themes and the precept of art for art's sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough he produced much after this success in general his popularity and critical reputation declined. The most important qualities of Swinburne's work are an intense lyricism, his intricately extended and evocative imagery, metrical virtuosity, rich use of assonance and alliteration, and bold, complex rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwinburne's physical appearance was small, frail, and plagued by several other oddities of physique and temperament. Throughout the 1860s and 1870s he drank excessively and was prone to accidents that often left him bruised, bloody, or unconscious. Until his forties he suffered intermittent physical collapses that necessitated removal to his parents' home while he recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career Swinburne also published literary criticism of great worth. His deep knowledge of world literatures contributed to a critical style rich in quotation, allusion, and comparison. He is particularly noted for discerning studies of Elizabethan dramatists and of many English and French poets and novelists. As well he was a noted essayist and wrote two novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1879, Swinburne's friend and literary agent, Theodore Watts-Dunton, intervened during a time when Swinburne was dangerously ill. Watts-Dunton isolated Swinburne at a suburban home in Putney and gradually weaned him from alcohol, former companions and many other habits as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of his poetry in this period may be inferior but some individual poems are exceptional; \"By the North Sea,\" \"Evening on the Broads,\" \"A Nympholept,\" \"The Lake of Gaube,\" and \"Neap-Tide.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwinburne lived another thirty years with Watts-Dunton. He denied Swinburne's friends access to him, controlled the poet's money, and restricted his activities.

Soon, however, he was beset by marital problems, illnesses, a growing opium dependency, tensions with Wordsworth, and a lack of confidence in his poetic powers, all of which fuelled the composition of Dejection: An Ode and an intensification of his philosophical studies.

Although he rarely prepared anything other than loose notes and was inclined to digress, these lectures were a huge literary event and success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy this time Coleridge was dependent on opium and by 1817 his solution was to live in Highgate under the watchful eye of physician James Gillman where his dependency was somewhat controlled and his output of work could continue.  These included his 23 volume Biographia Literaria, Sibylline Leaves (1817), Aids to Reflection (1825), and Church and State (1826).He died in Highgate, London on 25 July 1834 as a result of heart failure and a lung disorder together with the long term effects of opium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21771178999886,"sku":"AB-9284","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/products\/9781787809284_The_Poetry_of_Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge.jpg?v=1594080704"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/en-gb\/collections\/poets-british-poets-english-poets\/english-poets.oembed?page=2","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
