1823 1854 1896 Angel Best Coventry Epic Married Patmore Poem Praise
EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte-de-visite (CDV) features Coventry Patmore, the esteemed English poet, as he sits in contemplative pose, pen in hand, surrounded by the tranquility of his study. Born on February 20, 1823, Patmore is best known for his epic poem in praise of married love, "The Angel in the House," published between 1854 and 1863. This work, which celebrates the domestic virtues of a devoted wife, became a literary sensation and established Patmore's reputation as a leading poet of the Victorian era. The photograph, taken in 1896, captures Patmore in the latter stages of his life, with the wisdom and experience of a man who has dedicated himself to his craft. The serene atmosphere of his study, with its bookshelves filled with volumes and the presence of a cherubic angel figurine, underscores the themes of love, devotion, and the passage of time that are central to his poetry. Patmore's work, which often explores the complexities of human emotions and relationships, resonated deeply with the Victorian audience, who were captivated by the poet's ability to capture the beauty and intricacies of married life. "The Angel in the House" remains a testament to the enduring power of poetry to inspire, comfort, and challenge us, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the life of the man behind the words. This CDV is an invaluable historical artifact, providing a tangible connection to the literary and cultural history of the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of poetry to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the universal truths that transcend the boundaries of history.
