The Farthing Poet

- A Biography of Richard Hengist Horne 1802-84: A Lesser Literary Lion

Om The Farthing Poet

First published in 1968. Richard Hengist Horne, virtually unknown today, was one of the more extraordinary figures of the nineteenth century literary scene. The author of an epic poem Orion was acclaimed a work of genius by almost every English critic. His voluminous literary output is for the most part forgotten, but his life and character, his widely romantic aspirations to be a Man of Genius, provide a fascinating tragi-comic study. As a background study to the literature and society of the time, Ann Blainey¿s book is packed with interest and anecdote, and as a study of a remarkable man it is consistently entertaining.
