| biography:
| Poet, born in Liverpool, Merseyside, NW England, UK. He studied at Rugby and Oxford, travelled in Europe, and espoused progressive social views. Experimental techniques in his long poem The Bothie (1848), and the ironic narrative Amours de Voyage (1849), have influenced modern poets. His best-known poem, beginning ‘Say not the struggle nought availeth’, was published posthumously in 1862. |
