1869FB1639 (1 to 3) /7<p>Fine red calf bindings. Gilt edging on the boards. Gilt banding titles and emblems on the spine. All edges gilt. One volume had hinge professionally repaired.</p><p>A nicely bound set Hood was contributed 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.</p><p><strong>Thomas Hood</strong> 23 May 1799 – 3 May 1845 was an English poet author and humorist 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.</p> E Moxton & Son. hardcover
