1872FB3509 /8<p>Full red leather with gilt title banding and decoration on the spine. Gilt decorative edging on the boards. All edges gilt. Illustrated by Myles Birkett Foster.</p><p>A very fine and sought-after copy</p><p><strong>Thomas Hood</strong> 23 May 1799 – 3 May 1845 was an English poet author and humourist best known for poems such as "The Bridge of Sighs" and "The Song of the Shirt". Hood wrote regularly for <em>The London Magazine</em> <em>Athenaeum</em> and <em>Punch</em>. He later published a magazine largely consisting of his own works. Hood never robust had lapsed into invalidism by the age of 41 and died at the age of 45. William Michael Rossetti in 1903 called him "the finest English poet" between the generations of Shelley and Tennyson. Hood was the father of the playwright and humourist Tom Hood 1835–1874 and the children's writer Frances Freeling Broderip 1830–1878. Thomas Hood was born to Thomas Hood and Elizabeth Sands in the Poultry Cheapside London above his father's bookshop. His father's family had been Scottish farmers from the village of Errol near Dundee. The elder Hood was a partner in the business of Vernor Hood and Sharp a member of the Associated Booksellers. Hood's son Tom Hood claimed that his grandfather had been the first to open up the book trade with America and had had great success with new editions of old books. "Next to being a citizen of the world" writes Thomas Hood in his <em>Literary Reminiscences</em> "it must be the best thing to be born a citizen of the world's greatest city." On the death of her husband in 1811 Hood's mother moved to Islington where he had a schoolmaster who in appreciating his talents "made him feel it impossible not to take an interest in learning while he seemed so interested in teaching." Under the care of this "decayed dominie" he earned a few guineas – his first literary fee – by revising for the press a new edition of the 1788 novel <em>Paul and Virginia</em>. Hood left his private schoolmaster at 14 years of age and was admitted soon after into the counting house of a friend of his family where he "turned his stool into a Pegasus on three legs every foot of course being a dactyl or a spondee." However the uncongenial profession affected his health which was never strong and he began to study engraving. The exact nature and course of his study is unclear: various sources tell different stories. Reid emphasizes his work under his maternal uncle Robert Sands but no deeds of apprenticeship exist and his letters show he studied with a Mr. Harris. Hood's daughter in her <em>Memorials</em> mentions her father's association with the Le Keux brothers who were successful engravers in the city. The labour of engraving was no better for his health than the counting house had been and Hood was sent to his father's relations at Dundee Scotland. There he stayed in the house of his maternal aunt Jean Keay for some months. Then on falling out with her he moved on to the boarding house of one of her friends Mrs. Butterworth where he lived for the rest of his time in Scotland. In Dundee Hood made a number of close friends with whom he continued to correspond for many years. He led a healthy outdoor life but also became a wide and indiscriminate reader. At the same time he began seriously to write poetry and he appeared in print for the first time with a letter to the editor of the <em>Dundee Advertiser</em>. Before long Hood was contributing humorous and poetical pieces to provincial newspapers and magazines. As a proof of his literary vocation he would write out his poems in printed characters believing that this process best enabled him to understand his own peculiarities and faults and probably unaware that Samuel Taylor Coleridge had recommended some such method of criticism when he said he thought "Print settles it." On his return to London in 1818 he applied himself to engraving which enabled him later to illustrate his various humours and fancies. In 1821 John Scott editor of <em>The London Magazine</em> was killed in a duel and the periodical passed into the hands of some friends of Hood who proposed to make him sub-editor. This post at once introduced him to the literary society of the time. He gradually developed his powers by becoming an associate of John Hamilton Reynolds Charles Lamb Henry Cary Thomas de Quincey Allan Cunningham Bryan Procter Serjeant Talfourd Hartley Coleridge the peasant-poet John Clare and other contributors. Hood married Jane Reynolds 1791–1846. on 5 May 1824. They settled at 2 Robert Street Adelphi London. Their first child died at birth but a daughter Frances Freeling Broderip 1830–1878 was born soon after they moved to Winchmore Hill and after they had then moved in 1832 to Lake House Wanstead a son Tom Hood 1835–1874 was also born. Both children took up in Hood's profession: Frances became a children's writer and Tom a humourist and playwright and they later collaborated in collecting and publishing their father's work. Although constantly worried about money and health the Hoods were a devoted affectionate family as <em>Memorials of Thomas Hood</em> 1860 based on his letters and compiled by his children testifies. <em>Odes and Addresses</em> – Hood's first volume – was written in conjunction with his brother-in-law John Hamilton Reynolds a friend of John Keats. Coleridge wrote to Lamb averring that the book must be the latter's work. Keats wrote two poems for Jane Reynolds: "O Sorrow!" October 1817 and "On a Leander Gem which Miss Reynolds my Kind Friend Gave Me" c. March 1817. Also from this period are <em>The Plea of the Midsummer Fairies</em> 1827 and a dramatic romance <em>Lamia</em> published later. <em>The Plea</em> was a book of serious verse but Hood was known as a humorist and the book was ignored almost entirely. Hood was fond of practical jokes which he was said to have enjoyed inflicting on members of his family. In the <em>Memorials</em> there is a story of Hood instructing his wife Jane to purchase some fish for the evening meal from a woman who regularly came to the door selling her husband's catch. But he warns her to watch for plaice that "has any appearance of red or orange spots as they are a sure sign of an advanced stage of decomposition." Mrs. Hood refused to purchase the fish-seller's plaice exclaiming "My good woman. I could not think of buying any plaice with those very unpleasant red spots!" The fish-seller was amazed at such ignorance of what plaice look like. The series of the <em>Comic Annual</em> dating from 1830 was a type of publication popular at the time which Hood undertook and continued almost unassisted for several years. He would cover all the leading events of the day in caricature without personal malice and with an undercurrent of sympathy. Readers were also treated to an incessant use of puns of which Hood had written in his own vindication "However critics may take offence /A double meaning has double sense" but as he gained experience as a writer his diction became simpler. In another annual called the <em>Gem</em> appeared the verse story of Eugene Aram. Hood started a magazine in his own name mainly sustained by his own activity. He did the work from a sick-bed from which he never rose and there also composed well-known poems such as "The Song of the Shirt" which appeared anonymously in the Christmas number of <em>Punch</em> 1843 and was immediately reprinted in <em>The Times</em> and other newspapers across Europe. It was dramatized by Mark Lemon as <em>The Sempstress</em> printed on broadsheets and cotton handkerchiefs and was highly praised by many of the literary establishment including Charles Dickens. Likewise "The Bridge of Sighs" and "The Song of the Labourer" which were also translated into German by Ferdinand Freiligrath. These are plain solemn pictures of the conditions of life which appeared shortly before Hood's death in May 1845. Hood was associated with the <em>Athenaeum</em> started in 1828 by James Silk Buckingham and was a regular contributor to it for the rest of his life. Prolonged illness brought straitened circumstances. Applications were made by a number of Hood's friends to the Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel to grant Hood a civil list pension with which the state rewarded literary men. Peel was known to be an admirer of Hood's work and in the last few months of Hood's life he gave Jane Hood the sum of £100 without her husband's knowledge to alleviate the family's debts. The pension that Peel's government bestowed on Hood was continued to his wife and family after his death. Jane Hood who also suffered from poor health had put tremendous energy into tending her husband in his last year and died only 18 months later. The pension then ceased but Peel's successor Lord John Russell grandfather of the philosopher Bertrand Russell made arrangements for a £50 pension for the maintenance of Hood's two children Frances and Tom. Nine years later a monument raised by public subscription in Kensal Green Cemetery was unveiled by Richard Monckton Milnes. The monument was originally surmounted by a bronze bust of Hood by the sculptor Matthew Noble and had circular inset bronze roundels on either side but all have been stolen. Thackeray a friend of Hood's gave this assessment of him: "Oh sad marvellous picture of courage of honesty of patient endurance of duty struggling against pain!. Here is one at least without guile without pretension without scheming of a pure life to his family and little modest circle of friends tenderly devoted." The house where Hood died No. 28 Finchley Road St John's Wood now has a blue plaque.</p> E Moxon & Son. hardcover
