CLARKE, CHARLES COWDEN (1787-1877)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLARKE, CHARLES COWDEN (1787-1877) , English author and Shakespearian scholar, was born at Enfield,
Middlesex
 , on the 15th of December 1787. His father, John
Clarke
 , was a schoolmaster, among whose pupils was John Keats. Charles
Clarke
  taught Keats his letters, and encouraged his love of poetry. He knew Charles and Mary Lamb, and afterwards became acquainted with
Shelley
 , Leigh Hunt, Coleridge and Hazlitt. Clarke became a music publisher in partnership with Alfred Novello, and married in 1828 his partner's sister, Mary Victoria (18091898), the eldest daughter of Vincent Novello. In the year after her
marriage
  Mrs Cowden Clarke began her valuable Shakespeare concordance, which was eventually
issued in eighteen monthly parts (18441845), and in volume form in 1845 as The Complete Concordance to Shakespeare, being a Verbal Index to all the Passages in the Dramatic Works of the Poet. This
work
  superseded the Copious Index to . . . Shake-. speare (1790) of Samuel Ayscough, and the Complete Verbal Index . . . (18051807) of Francis Twiss. Charles Cowden Clarke published many useful books, and edited the text for John Nichol's edition of the British poets; but his most import-ant
work
  consisted of lectures delivered between 1834 and 1856 on Shakespeare and other literary subjects. Some of the more notable
series
  were published, among them being Shakespeare's Characters, chiefly those subordinate (1863), and Moliere's Characters (1865). In 1859 he published a volume of
original
  poems, Carmina Minima. For some years after their
marriage
  the Cowden Clarkes lived with the Novellos in London. - In 1849 Vincent Novello with his wife removed to Nice, where he was joined by the Clarkes in 1856. After his death they lived at Genoa at the " Villa Novello." They collaborated in The Shakespeare Key, unlocking the Treasures of his Style . . . (1879), and in an edition of Shakespeare for Messrs Cassell, which was issued in weekly parts, and completed in 1868. It was reissued in 1886 as Cassell's Illustrated Shakespeare. Charles Clarke died on the 13th of March 1877 at Genoa, and his wife survived him until the 12th of January 1898. Among Mrs Cowden Clarke's other works may be mentioned The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines (3 vols., 18501852), and a
translation
  of Berlioz's Treatise upon Modern Instrumentation and Orchestration (1856).
See Recollections of Writers (1898), a
joint
  work by the Clarkes containing letters and reminiscences of their many literary friends; and Mary Cowden Clarke's autobiography, My Long Life (1896). A charming
series
  of letters (1850-1861), addressed by her to an American admirer of her work, Robert Balmanno, was edited by Anne Upton Nettleton as Letters to an Enthusiast (Chicago, 1902).
