JONES, EBENEZER (182o-186o)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 498 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JONES, EBENEZER (182o-186o) , British poet, was born in Islington, London, on the loth of January 182o. His father, who was of Welsh extraction, was a strict Calvinist, and Ebenezer was educated at a dull, middle-class school. The death of his father obliged him to become a clerk in the office of a tea merchant.
Shelley
  and Carlyle were his spiritual masters, and he spent all his spare time in
reading
  and writing; but he developed an exaggerated style of thought and expression, due partly to a defective education. The unkind reception of his Studies of Sensation and Event (1843) seemed to be the last drop in his
bitter
  cup of life. Baffled and disheartened, he destroyed his manuscripts. He earned his living as an accountant and by literary hack
work
 , and it was not until he was rapidly dying of
consumption
  that he wrote his three remarkable poems, " Winter Hymn to the Snow," " When the World is Burning" and "To Death." The fame that these and some of the pieces in the early volume brought to their author came too
late
 . He died on the 14th of September 186o.
It was not till 187o that Dante Gabriel Rossetti praised his
work
  in Notes and Queries. Rossetti's example was followed by W. B. Scott,
Theodore
  Watts-Dunton, who contributed some papers on the subject to the
Athenaeum
  (September and October 1878), and R. H.
Sheppard
 , who edited Studies of Sensation and Event in 1879.
