  Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
SIR THOMAS NOON TALFOURD (1795-1854), English judge and author, the son of a brewer in good circumstances, was born on the 26th of May 1795 at Reading (not, as is sometimes stated, at Doxey, near Stafford).
The bill met with strong opposition, but Talfourd had the satisfaction of seeing it pass into law in 1842, albeit in a greatly modified form.
Talfourd died in court during the performance of his judicial duties, at Stafford, on the 13th of March 1854.

 The Patry Copyright Blog: Copyright Parochialism?
Talfourd's efforts were heartfelt and had the support of a number of authors, such as Woodsworth.
Regrettably, Talfourd's take it or leave it approach turned many off, most importantly, Thomas Babbington Macaulay, whose eloquent opposition was largely responsible for killing the bill on February 5, 1841.
Talfourd did not run in the 1841 general election, and his bill, stripped down to term extension, passed in his absence in 1842 with a compromise proposed by Macaulay.

They are the works of Thomas Noon Talfourd, a radical member of Parliament.
Particularly significant are Talfourd’s choice of starring actor (the republican William Charles Macready), the impact of Talfourd’s own non-conformist Christianity on his presentation of struggles for liberty in ancient Greece, and the influences upon his work of Shelly and Bulwer.

Dickens first met in summer of 1837 All from Patten/Penguin “Until Talfourd’s Bill was passed, copyright on new books was granted to the author for twenty-eight year or his lifetime, whichever was longer.
Most authors until well into the nineteenth century sold their copyright outright to the publisher, though gradually more equitable contracts, where the author leased the copyright for a specified time, shared in the profits, or received a royalty, were instituted.
Talfourd’s Bill eventually increased the copyright period to forty-two years or seven years after the author’s death, whichever was longer.” (Patten, Penguin note, 931).

 The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The Romantic Age: Topic 3: Explorations
It has been suggested that the spirit of Romanticism owed less to the millenarian hopes excited by the French Revolution than to the disappointment and disillusionment which followed.
As Thomas Noon Talfourd wrote in 1815, horror at the excesses of the Revolution had served "to raise and darken the imagination." To what extent is Talfourd's analysis of the genesis of Romanticism persuasive?
The prose of Thomas Carlyle, historian of the revolution, epitomized this turbulent spirit.

The hundred posts in the Excise are not filled up by the Commisioners, but entirely by the Treasury, who make them the means of political patronage; -- and, of course, can only give to each of their supporters a limited share in its disposition.

 Mahoney, 'Periodical Indigestion' - Romanticism and Conspiracy - Romantic Circles Praxis Series, Romantic Circles
An appraisal of Hazlitt's style by Thomas Noon Talfourd (a middlebrow defender of the "ordinary taste") may be taken as representative.
Take, for example, the "sandwich of literature": as a critic, Hazlitt clearly understands the necessity of disguising politics in such a way as not to aggravate the reader's taste; but when it is a matter of his own writing, he is incapable of exercising such restraint.
While a reviewer as sympathetic as Talfourd marginalizes Hazlitt's splenetic invective by insisting on the status of criticism as belles-lettres, Gifford condemns Hazlitt's writing as seditious libel in order to discredit his increasingly celebrated status as a literary critic.
