Writers of the Day: No. XXXIV. Mr. William Watson, 1898. 'Mr. William Watson, whose new volume of poems, "The Hope of the World," is reviewed in these columns, was born in Wharfedale, Yorkshire, and early in life devoted himself to literature. His first volume of verso, "The Prince's Quest," published in 1880, won the approval of Rossetti and other distinguished critics. "Epigrams of Art, Life, and Nature" followed four years later, and in 1890 he gained a more considerable recognition by his volume entitled "Wordsworth's Grave." His subsequent volumes, "Lachrymae Musarum," "The Eloping Angels" "Odes," "The Father of the Forest," and "The Purple East," have given him an assured place among modern poets, and he is known as a prose writer by his "Excursions in Criticism," a volume of articles reprinted chiefly from the Spectator. He has also edited an anthology entitled "Lyric Love."' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
