| | Chapter “Ward <i>to</i> Warton of W by Biographical Dictionary of English Literature |
 | | Warner, Susan (1819-1885).writer of tales, born at New York, and wrote, under the name of Elizabeth Wetherell, a number of stories, of which The Wide, Wide World (1851) had an extraordinary popularity. |
 | | Warner, William (1558-1609).Poet, born in London or Yorkshire, studied at Oxford, and was an attorney in London. |
 | | The plain-spoken, jolly humour, homely, lively, direct tales, vigorous patriotic feeling, and rough-and-tumble metre of Warners muse, and its heterogeneous accumulation of materialhistory, tales, theology, antiquitiesmust have appealed to a lower and wider audience than Spensers charmed verse. |
