Arthur Henry Hallam

1811–1833


Arthur Henry Hallam (1811–1833) was an English poet and essayist, the close friend of Alfred Tennyson whose early death inspired In Memoriam.

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 4, from the Internet Archive scans of that edition. Spelling is that of the anthology; Miles's biographical essay and extracts from longer poems are omitted, and only poems that could be read cleanly from the scan are included.

  1. Sonnet. (To My Mother)
  2. Written in Edinburgh
