A word of explanation Poor Ernest Dowson through his sufferings is becoming almost as famous as that earlier unhappy poet who by self-destruction set apart his lifestory in the sorrowful annals of literature. There were perhaps two Chattertons--who, at this long distance of time, can tell? There were certainly two Dowsons--one the vexed and torn spirit of the biographers, of Mr Sherard and Mr Arthur " Symons, the other a Dowson intime, known, I venture to think, to very few, but by those few greatly loved. This intimate and perhaps essential Dowson appears, I am convinced, in these thirty or so letters, now for the first time published in full or in part. In them no ugly slur of passion, no ill savours, are to be found. Instead we are refreshed by fragrance--transient and slight, perhaps, yet evident--by fragrance, be it said again, and by an unfailing touch of good breeding, a gracious and insistent air of modesty--by something diffident, boyishly shy, often beautiful and noble.-To me the re-reading of these letters of his brings back my friend as I knew him and love to remember him--the gentleman, the kindly, charming boyish friend, the scholar, the exquisite poet. I read and re-read through gathering tears, and lay them down when I can see no more. Prater, ave, atque vale! ernest dowson reminiscences It was early in the year 1888 that my old friend, Mr Charles Sayle, that greaFintroducer, first said to me: "There's a man whom you ought to know, a young poet just down from college, a man exactly like J."--naming a well-known writer; "only, if possible, more so!" Caesar and Pompey were very much alike, in the opinion of the black man, especially Pompey. And this was the case with Mr J. and Ernest Dowson, the latter being the more...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few of the many romantic figures of the nineties have weathered the changing schools of literary taste as well as Ernest Dowson, in whose verse there is found a timeless, ingratiating charm and enduring interest. This biography is only incidentally a critical appraisal of Dowson's achievements but attempts to give a more completely rounded picture of the man than we have had before it. The book is based on a great deal of new material, which clears up many misinterpretations of Dowson's personality. This consists of unpublished letters from various sources, including twelve from Oscar Wilde that have not been printed before and detailed information gleaned by the author in interviews and in correspondence with persons who knew the poet intimately. To modern readers versed in psychological explanations of behavior, Dowson's story unwinds in a foredoomed pattern: the talented child of neurotic parents, the maladjusted boy at Oxford, the discontented young man in London, his curious infatuation for the child Adelaide, the brief association with prominent literary leaders in the Rhymers' Club and on the short-lived Savoy, and then his mother's suicide, his homelessness, poverty, aimless wandering abroad, the escape in drinking, finally death. Yet with it all, the insatiable urge to weave out his dreams in facile words which now form a unique and permanent contribution to English poetry. From this book Dowson emerges as a tragically interesting figure. The biography gives as much of his story as probably will ever be known, and as such takes an important place among the lives of English poets.
