1895247634N.p. 1895. 5 stanzas of verse with 7-line note. 2 pp. on two sheets of blank stantionery. 8vo. Fine. 5 stanzas of verse with 7-line note. 2 pp. on two sheets of blank stantionery. 8vo. Author of "Ben Bolt" New Jersey Congressman and Enemy of Poe. Thomas Dunn English 1819-1902 was a proilific author of poems ballads and novels; he also server two terms in the U.S. Congress as a Representative from New Jersey; but his fame as a writer rests on the ballad in wrote in 1843 "Ben Bolt." First published in Nathaniel Parker Willis' magazine NEW YORK MIRROR "Ben Bolt" was set to music many times and became very popular especiallly in the version set to a tune by Nelson Kneass. In his note appended to this transcription of the poem English writes:<br/><br/> "The foregoing stanzas are as they originally appeared in Willis & Morris's NEW YORK NEW MIRROR in the year 1843. Though they have been set to music eight tiimes the only popular melody was the one take from a German air by Kneass. The words there - three stanzas only being taken - are very much mutilated."<br/><br/>"It was hugely successful at the time but had a new lease of life as the song that Trilby O'Ferrall sings in the novel TRILBY 1894 by George du Maurier. It is described in the novel as an 'unsophisticated little song' but when Trilby performs it under the influence of the sinister hypnotist Svengali it reawakens a 'cosmic vision of the beauty and sadness of things' in her former lover Little Billee." Derek B. Scott THE SINGING BOURGEOIS: SONGS OF THE VICTORIAN DRAWING ROOM AND PARLOUR. Aldershot Hampshire; Burlington VT: Ashgate 2001.<br/><br/>Ironically "Ben Bolt" being a tribute to a long-lasting friendship English is also remembered as the bitter foe of his former friend Edgar Allan Poe. The two had a falling out which resulted in a fist fight as well as a long running literary feud. unknown books
