Thomas Wade
Thomas Wade was an English poet, dramatist, editor.
Education
He must have come to London young, probably possessed of a moderate competence, and the miscellaneous knowledge evinced in a volume of poems published before he attained his majority seems to indicate a self-educated man.
Career
He early went to London, where he began to publish verse of considerable merit under the inspiration of Byron, Keats and especially Shelley. He wrote some plays that were produced on the London stage with a certain measure of success, owing more perhaps to the acting of Charles and Fanny Kemble than to the merits of the dramatist.
Wade frequently contributed verses to the magazines, and for some years he was editor as well as parl-pro- prietor of Bell's Weekly Messenger. This venture proving financially unsuccessful, he retired to Jersey, where he edited the British Press, continuing to publish poetry from time to time until 1871.
He died in Jersey on the 19th of September 1875.
Achievements
-
The most notable of Wade's publications were: Tas-re and the Sisters (1825), a volume of poems, among which " The Nuptials of Juno " in particular showed rare gifts of imagination, though like all Wade's work deficient in sense of melody and feeling for artistic form; Woman's Love (1828), a play produced at Covent Garden; The Phrenologists, a farce produced at Covent Garden in 1830; The Jew of Arragon, a play that was " howled from the stage" at Covent Garden in 1830 owing to its exaltation of the Jew; Mundi et cordis carmina (1835), a volume of poems, many of which had previously appeared in the Monthly Repository; The Contention of Death and Love, Helena and The Shadow Seeker-these three being published in the form of pamphlets in 1837; Prothanasia and other Poems (1839).
Wade also wrote a drama entitled King Henry II, and a translation of Dante's " Inferno " in the metre of the original, both of which remain in manuscript; and a series of sonnets inspired by his wife, some of which have been published.

Views
From the internal evidence of his writings, Wade would seem to have been a sensitive enthusiast of strong domestic affections, but at the same time manly and independent. He was an advanced liberal in politics and religion.
Connections
His wife was Lucy Eager, a musician of some repute.
