HOOD, TOM (18351874)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 668 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HOOD, TOM (18351874) , English humorist, son of the poet
Thomas
  Hood, was born at Lake
House
 ;
Wanstead
 , Essex, on the 19th of January 1835. After attending University College School and Louth Grammar School he entered Pembroke College,
Oxford
 , in 1853, where he passed all the examinations for the degree of B.A., but did not
graduate
 . At
Oxford
  he wrote his Farewell to the Swallows (1853) and Pen and Pencil Pictures (1857). He began to write for the Liskeard
Gazette
  in 1856, and edited that
paper
  in 18581859. He then obtained a position in the War Office, which he filled for five years, leaving in 1865
to become editor of Fun, the comic
paper
 , which became very popular under his direction. In 1867 he first issued Tom Hood's Comic Annual. In 1861 had appeared The Daughters of King Daker, and other Poems, after which he published in conjunction with his
sister
 , Frances Freeling
Broderip
 , a number of amusing books for children. His serious novels, of which Captain Masters's Children (1865) is the best, were not so successful. Hood drew with considerable facility, among his illustrations being those of several of his father's comic verses. In private life his geniality and sincere friendliness secured him the affection and esteem of a wide circle of acquaintance. He died on the 20th of November 1874.
A memoir by his
sister
 , F. F.
Broderip
 , is prefixed to the edition of his poems published in 1877.
