TAYLOR, SIR HENRY (1800-1886)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 469 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TAYLOR, SIR HENRY (1800-1886) , English poet and political official, was born on the 18th of October 1800, at
Bishop
 -Middleham,
Durham
 , where his ancestors had been small landowners for some generations. His
mother
  died while he was yet an infant, and he was chiefly educated by his father, a man of studious tastes, who, finding him less
quick
  than his two elder
brothers
 , allowed him to enter the navy as a midshipman. Finding the life uncongenial, he only remained eight months at sea, and after obtaining his discharge was appointed to a clerkship in the storekeeper's office. He had scarcely entered upon his duties when he was attacked by typhus fever, which carried off both his
brothers
 , then living with him in London. In three or four years more his office was abolished while he was on duty in the West Indies. On his return he found his father happily married to a lady whose
interest
  and sympathy proved of priceless value to him. Through her
little by the egotism pardonable in a poet and the garrulity natural to a veteran, is in the main a pleasing and faithful picture of an aspiring youth, an active maturity, and a happy and honoured old age.
Taylor's Artevelde cannot fail to impress those who read it as the
work
  of a poet of considerable distinction; but, perhaps for the very reason that he was so prominent as a state official, he has not been accepted by the world as more than a very accomplished man of letters. His lyrical
work
  is in general laboriously artificial, but he produced two well-known songs" Quoth tongue of neither maid nor wife " and " If I had the wings of a dove."
Taylor's Autobiography (2 vols. 1885) should be supplemented by his Correspondence (1888), edited by
Edward
  Dowden. His Works were collected in five volumes in 1877-78.
