First published in 1968. Richard Hengist Horne, virtually unknown
today, was one of the more extraordinary figures of the nineteenth
century literary scene. The author of an epic poem Orion was
acclaimed a work of genius by almost every English critic. His
voluminous literary output is for the most part forgotten, but his
life and character, his widely romantic aspirations to be a Man of
Genius, provide a fascinating tragi-comic study. As a background
study to the literature and society of the time, Ann Blainey's book
is packed with interest and anecdote, and as a study of a
remarkable man it is consistently entertaining.
