(The close of the tenth century of the Christian era is si...)
The close of the tenth century of the Christian era is singled out by history as a memorable time of pause and recommencement in the career of the world. By history likewise it is unrolled as one of her darkest and saddest chapters. It presents itself both as a period and an epoch. With it expired that long course of formation which began with the fifth century: and from amidst its anarchy or misrule were evolved the institutions, societies, and manners of mediaeval Europe. It assumes a twofold significance. Retrospectively it connects itself with the five centuries preceding, especially with the two great facts of those centuries-the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, and its revival by Charlemagne; and we ask the question, What did this point of time receive from the past, which rendered it a crisis of development for the future? Again, when viewed as the seed-time in which were nurtured the forms of the coming world, we must strive to trace in its evanescence and obscurity a law of union deeper than the discord of facts, and pointing to a destiny to be attained in spite of the practical incredulity expressed by blood and rapine. The end of the tenth century was the beginning of the European middle age: as therefore it closes five centuries of ruinous war, devastation, and barbarism; so it opens three centuries magnificent in events and ideas. From this time are to be dated the great facts which reciprocated in producing the mediaeval genius and tendency, so profound and inscrutable, such as the origin of modern languages, and national literatures; of the Feudal system, with its various political culminations; and of the supremacy of the Popes. In the east, the close of the tenth century is coeval with the brief outshining of the Greek empire, between the decay of the Saracens and the rise of the Turks, with the Christianization of Russia, and with the

(The complete Collected Poems of Canon Richard Watson Dixo...)
The complete Collected Poems of Canon Richard Watson Dixon (1833-1900) initiates a series of publications commemorating the centenary of Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. (1844-89). In 1878 Hopkins wrote to Dixon that he had made Dixon's poetry «a part of my own mind.» Dixon became one of the major correspondents of Hopkins. Although their letters are in print, Dixon's poetry has never been collected and reprinted in modern times, so scholars can scarcely understand Hopkins' detailed analyses without this volume. Dixon is an important figure both in the Pre-Raphaelite movement and in the circle surrounding Hopkins. This collection is essential for the graduate collection on Victorian literature.

Dixon, the son of Dr James Dixon, a Wesleyan minister, was born in Islington on the 5th of May 1833.
Dixon was educated at King Edward’s school, Birmingham, and on proceeding to Pembroke College, Oxford, became one of the famous “Birmingham group” there who shared with William Morris and Burne-Jones in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He took only a second class in moderations in 1854, and a third in Literae Humaniores in 1856. In 1899 he received the honorary degree of D. D. from Oxford.
Dixon was ordained in 1858, was second master of Carlisle high school, 1863-1868, and successively vicar of Hayton, Cumberland, and Warkworth, Northumberland. He became minor canon and honorary librarian of Carlisle in 1868, and honorary canon in 1874, he was proctor in convocation (1890-1894).
Canon Dixon’s first two volumes of verse, Christ’s Company and Historical Odes, were published in 1861 and 1863 respectively; but it was not until 1883 that he attracted conspicuous notice with Mano, an historical poem in terza rima, which was enthusiastically praised by Mr Swinburne. This success he followed up by three privately printed volumes, Odes and Eclogues (1884), Lyrical Poems (1886), and The Story of Eudocia (1888).
Dixon’s poems were during the last fifteen years of his life recognized as scholarly and refined exercises, touched with both dignity and a certain severe beauty, but he never attained any general popularity as a poet, the appeal of his poetry being directly to the scholar. A great student of history, his studies in that direction colour much of his poetry. The romantic atmosphere is remarkably preserved in Mano, a successful metrical exercise in the difficult terza rima. His typical poems have charm and melody, without introducing any new note or variety of rhythm. He is contemplative, sober and finished in literary workmanship, a typical example of the Oxford school. At the time of his death he had completed six volumes of one of his greatest work "Church of England from the Abolition of the Roman Jurisdiction" (1878-1902), two of which were published posthumously. This fine work, covering the period from 1529 to 1570, is built upon elaborate research, and presents a trustworthy and unprejudiced survey of its subject.
Dixon’s Selected Poems were published in 1909 with a memoir of the author by Robert Bridges.

On 9 April 1861, Dixon married the widow of William Thomson of Haddingtonshire (née Maria Sturgeon). After his first wife died in 1876, Dixon married in 1882 Matilda, the eldest daughter of George Routledge. He had no children by either marriage.
