Excerpt from Thomas Hood: His Life and Times Thomas Hood has been dead for over sixty years; by common consent of competent critics he occupies a notable place among our nineteenth-century poets, by popular acclaim he is a writer whose comic verse stands far above that of all competitors, by all who have studied it his life-story is recognised as an interesting chapter in the history of modern letters, and his personality as an attractive and loveable one. Though all these things are true of him there has up to the present been but one attempt to tell the story of Thomas Hood's life with any fulness, and that was in the "Memorials of Thomas Hood," prepared by his son and daughter, and published in two volumes in 1860. Ten years later a single-volume edition was issued, with some portions excised and one or two fresh letters inserted. The "Memorials" served their purpose: they told something of Hood's life-history, showed him as a hard worker, as a light-hearted fighter against ill-health, and as the idolised head of a household; but though the "Memorials" did all this, the work was sadly incomplete and necessarily uncritical.
