Henry Austin Dobson was born at Plymouth on 18 January 1840, being the eldest son of George Clarisse Dobson, a civil engineer, and on his grandmother's side of French descent.
When Dobson was about eight, the family moved to Holyhead, and his first school was at Beaumaris in Anglesey. Henry Austin Dobson was later educated at Coventry, and the Gymnase, Strasbourg. At the age of sixteen he returned and want to become a civil engineer.
In December 1856 Henry Dobson entered the Board of Trade, gradually rising to a principalship in the harbour department, from which he withdrew in the autumn of 1901.
It was about 1864 that Mr Dobson first turned his attention to composition in prose and verse, and some of his earliest known pieces remain among his best.
Many of his poems in their original form were illustrated-some, indeed, actually written to support illustrations.
This Dobson followed by English versions of the rondel, rondeau and villanelle. In " Beau Brocade, " indeed, the pictorial quality of his work, the dainty economy of eloquent touches, is at its very best: every couplet has its picture, and every picture is true and vivacious.
The appeal is rather to the intellect, and the touches of subdued pathos in the " Gentleman " and " Gentlewoman of the Old School " are addressed directly to the heart.
The admirably fresh and breezy " Ladies of St James's " has precisely the qualities we have traced in his other 18th-century poems; there are ballades and rondeaus, with all the earlier charm; and in " A Revolutionary Relic, " as in " The Child Musician " of the Old-World Idylls, the poet reaches a depth of true pathos which he does not often attempt, but in which, when he seeks it, he never fails.
At the pole opposite to these are the light occasional verses, not untouched by the influence of Praed, but also quite individual, buoyant and happy.
After 1885 Mr Dobson was engaged principally upon critical and biographical prose, by which he has added very greatly to the general knowletjge of his favourite 18th century.
His biographies of Fielding (1883), Bewick (1884), Steele (1886), Goldsmith (1888), Walpole (1890) and Hogarth (1879 - 1898) are studies marked alike by assiduous research, sympathetic presentation and sound criticism.
In 1901 he collected his hitherto unpublished poems in a volume entitled Carmina Votiva.
Dobson's official career was uneventful, but as a poet and biographer he was distinguished. In May 1876 he published in The Prodigals the first original ballade written in English. Those who study his work are struck by its maturity. Dobson received an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh in March 1902.
In 2005 the Industrial/Nu metal band, Industrial Frost, used the words of a Dobson poem called "Before Sedan" as the lyrics of a song of the same name.
