 §47. Alfred Austin. VI. Lesser Poets of the Middle and Later Nineteenth Century. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part ...
That Alfred Austin hardly deserved to be made poet laureate is a proposition which very few persons, whatever their personal or political attitude towards him, are likely to deny now, and which, in after times, nobody at all, except out of mere whim, is likely to dispute.
He began with cheap satire in an exploded style; and, though he fortunately abandoned this, neither his longer nor his shorter poems possessed pathos, power or beauty enough to give them much attraction even for a time or to keep them in memory after their writer’s death.
Browning’s nickname “Banjo Byron,” in the exceedingly ill-mannered and not extraordinarily witty attack prefaced to Pacchiarotto, was not very happy; for, though Austin was a professed admirer of Byron, he cannot be said to have copied him much except in satire, where Byron himself was a copyist.

 Two Poems on Horace, by Austin Dobson and Alfred Austin
The English poets Austin Dobson (1840-1921) and Alfred Austin (1835-1913) are not exactly household names today, and their poetry is unlikely to stage a revival in the 21st century (more's the pity).
Horace's reply to his friendly critics (Alfred Austin's equally urbane The Reply of Q. Horatius Flaccus to a Roman "Round-Robin").
The burden of Austin Dobson's poem is that Horace's favorite themes are hackneyed; they are not trite, but universal, replies Alfred Austin.

Remarked Gwendolyn Cecil in her biography of her father (IV: 55): Austin “was a wholehearted supporter of Lord Salisbury's policy both at home and abroad, was personally attached to him, and a frequent visitor at Hatfield.
Possessed of an invincible egotism and a uniquely high estimation of his own talents, however, Austin ignored his detractors and set about earnestly fulfilling the task of laureate, churning out partiotic verses which celebrated imperialism, royalty, and other staples of the Tory canon.
While some of the letters are merely invitations to visits or expressions of gratitude for a copy of Austin's latest work, others provide valuable insight into Salisbury's thinking on several of the key diplomatic and political questions which confronted him during these years.

Born on 30 May 1835 in a parish near Leeds, Alfred Austin, son of a devout Catholic father, spent the first years of his life at several Roman Catholic educational institutions in the north of England, finally taking a degree at the University of London.
Loathing all innovation, fearing popular rule, believing implicitly in tradition and the aristocracy, Austin glorified in verse and prose many of the same values held dear by other Tories.
The collection consists primarily of letters from the 3rd Marquis of Salisbury to Alfred Austin written between 1887 and 1902, the bulk having been generated in the period 1887-1896.
