Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xvi, 342 pp, ills, facs. From the foreword by Tupper's grandson: "He was not quite the poet laureate that he would have liked to be, and that some would have made him, nor was he the futile foil of Laurence Housman's "Victoria Regina". We have had to wait until now to see him in true perspective. Mr Hudson, his first, and perhaps only, biographer, by dint of patient and thorough research, has shown us Martin Tupper as he was, and, at the same time, has made a notable contribution to the social history of the nineteenth century. It is not to be expected that this biography will call "Proverbial Philosophy" forth from the dusty recesses of Charing Cross Road and set it once more upon the bookshelves of the English-speaking world, for its religious idiom is of an age that is past. But I am deeply indebted to Mr Hudson for rescuing the name of Martin Tupper from obscurity and ignominy, and for introducing him to this generation as one who contributed in some measure to its heritage of faith and freedom." Covers badly dampstained and marked, contents Good.

Cloth, 8vo, ; 22 cm, xix, 385, pp, frontis. plate, [10] plates, ills. From the Author's Note - "Henley has always lacked his Boswell. Charles Whibley, his friend and follower, who had all the material and all the knowledge for a biography of Boswellian proportions, survived Henley by twenty-seven years. But he never wrote the biography. When he died in 1930 he left six stout bound volumes of Henley's letters in chronological order (with some tiresome divagations), and three chapters of the rough draft of a book. I have made the letters to Whibley the basis of my study. I have drawn on Whibley's own material. For the rest, there is much of Henley's life in his writings and in the journals which he edited." An ex-library copy with white ink letters on the spine, a gilt stamp on the front board, perforation stamps on the title-page and last leaf, stamps on the verso of the title-page and on the plates, a little rubbed.
