Collected Poems, 1897-1907 (Dodo Press)
Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862-1938) was a British author and poet. He was born in Bilston, Wolverhampton, the son of the Vicar of St Mary's Church, the Rev. Henry Francis Newbolt. He attended Queen Mary's Grammar School, Walsall, and Caistor Grammar School, from where he gained a scholarship to Clifton College, where he was head of the school (1881) and edited the school magazine. His contemporaries there included Douglas Haig. Graduating from Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Newbolt was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1887 and practised until 1899. His first book was a novel, Taken from the Enemy (1892), and in 1895 he published a tragedy, Mordred; but it was the publication of his ballads, Admirals All (1897), that created his literary reputation. By far the best-known of these is "Vitai Lampada." They were followed by other volumes of stirring verse, including The Island Race (1898), The Sailing of the Long-ships (1902), and Songs of the Sea (1904). In 1914, Newbolt published Aladore, a fantasy novel about a bored but dutiful knight who abruptly abandons his estate and wealth to discover his heart's desire and woo a half-fae enchantress.
Play the Game
Two of Henry Newbolt's poems 'Vitai Lampada' and 'Drake's Drum' became staples of poetry anthologies and were known and recited by every school-boy. His poetry helped in constructing ideas around late Victorian/Edwardian imperial manliness. In this respect, Newbolt's work mirrors that of W.E. Henley, who also wrote poems which became part of a national lexicon and celebrated empire and the virtues of a stiff upper lip attitude to life. The Collected Poetry is the first critical scholarly edition of his work. Despite in his own time being a well-known and immensely popular poet, Newbolt has since fallen into comparative critical neglect bar Susan Chitty's (1997) biography and Victoria Jackson...
