 Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE (1823-1896), English poet and critic, the eldest son of Peter George Patmore, himself an author, was born at Woodford in Essex, on the 23rd of July 1823.
At this time Patmore's father became involved in financial embarrassments; and in 1846 Monckton Milnes secured for the son an assistant-librarianship in the British Museum, a post which he occupied industriously for nineteen years, devoting his spare time to poetry.
Patmore is one of the few Victorian poets of whom it may confidently be predicted that the memory of his greater achievements will outlive all consideration of occasional lapses from taste and dignity.

 Coventry Patmore's Youth, 1823-1847
Like George Eliot and Charles Dickens, Coventry Patmore was one of those Victorian authors those whose lives intrigued contemporary and modern readers just as much as their work.
In fact, Patmore's status in mid- to late nineteenth-century literary circle has perhaps made it difficult for critics to separate the man from his work, and the majority of the secondary material on Patmore has sought textual allusions that connect the poet's verse to his life.

 §36. Coventry Patmore. VI. Lesser Poets of the Middle and Later Nineteenth Century. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, ...
Coventry Patmore, though a recent and comparatively accidental coterie admiration has sometimes exalted him too high, was a very remarkable poet in more ways than one.
That he was one of the few poets who have given careful attention to the mechanism of poetry is the least of these ways; nor were his prosodic speculations, though interesting and ingenious, very happy.
It is true that, as Patmore had seldom fallen into actual silliness, so he rarely rose to actual sublimity; but he did reach it sometimes and often came very near it.

 PATMORE, COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Patmore’s first poetry, published in 1844, led to an assistant librarianship (1846–65) at the British Museum.
His principal works are The Angel in the House (in 4 books, 1854, 1856, 1860, 1863), a long poem that exalts the sanctity of married love (Patmore himself was happily married three times), and The Unknown Eros (1877), a series of odes reflecting the spiritual change effected by his conversion (1864) to Roman Catholicism.
In 1878, Tamerton Church Tower and Other Poems (1853) was reprinted with Amelia and included the “Essay on English Metrical Law.” Although Patmore’s early poetry seems insipid and sentimental, his later work is bolder, more ornate, and more profound.
