A sourcebook of Victorian literary life, the diary of
the Anglo-Irish poet William Allingham was first published in 1907.
Coming from Donegal, where he was in the customs service, Allingham paid
his first visit to London in 1847, published his first book of poems in
1850 and in 1851 began a lifelong infatuation with Tennyson. Tennyson
is the central character of the book, talking and walking, airing his
prejudices, reading his poems - "Allingham, would it disgust you if I
read 'Maud'? Would you expire?"--And shown in many of the intimate
revealing trivialities of his daily life.
