DESCRIPTION
Thomas Hood (17999-1845) was a celebrated English poet remembered for poems including 'The Bright of Sighs' and 'The Song of the Shirt'.

His work was often humorous in style, and he regularly contributed to Punch and the London Magazine.
Edited by writer and critic William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) whose other works include editing the first British edition of Walt Whitman's poetry, contributions to the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica and a memoir of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
