( Thomas Woolner was born on 17th December 1825 in Hadlei...)
Thomas Woolner was born on 17th December 1825 in Hadleigh, Suffolk. He was primarily a sculptor and a part-time art dealer but also a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and, over time, a noted poet. The poems here are excellent examples of Pre-Raphaelite poetry and brought praise from many including the very well thought of Victorian Poet Coventry Patmore. Parts of them were initially printed in the Pre-Raphaelites magazine The Germ in 1850 before being expanded and published, as a whole, in 1863. After helping to found the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Woolner spent a year in Australia and returned to take up a career in Sculpture in earnest. Over the years, he was commissioned and created works of public importance including memorials, tombs and narrative reliefs. As a man Woolner, was said to be a difficult character who had to make a concerted effort to rein in his personality and remain polite. However, he seemed to strike up a great number of friendships as well as offer advice. In the latter, he provided Tennyson with the scenario for his poem Enoch Arden. Between 1859 and 1864 Woolner was engaged to create a series of architectural sculptures for the Manchester Assize Courts. These statues depicted lawmakers and lawgivers and were part of the building's structure. Most dramatic was a giant sculpture depicting Moses which was placed above the entrance. On 6th September 1864, he married Alice Gertrude Waugh, although initially he had proposed and been rejected by her sister, Fanny. The Woolners had a large family of six children; four daughters and two sons. Woolner gradually became disenchanted with much of what the Pre-Raphaelites stood for and later moved towards a more classical form of expression. During the 1880s he returned to poetry to write three longer narrative works; Pygmalion, Silenus and Tiresias. These are much more in the classical vein in their exploration of eroticism. On 7th October 1892, Thomas Woolner died, from a stroke, at the age of 66, in London.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Thomas Woolner has been long in contemplation and preparation, but many reasons and difficulties have come in the way of its realization. First and foremost is the desire to plainly and truthfully demonstrate the great industry, thoroughness and pure ideals of the Sculptor and to show the admiration in which he was held by so large a number of eminent men of his day. This record of a lifes work has been compiled from personal knowledge, autograph letters, MSS. and diaries, most of which are in my keeping. I have received the greatest courtesy and kindest response from almost every one written to for permission to publish letters. And my special thanks are due to Hallam Lord Tennyson for permission to publish and for kindly help; to Mrs. Coventry Patmore and Mrs. Allingham for advice and suggestions; and to Mr. H. N. Gladstone, Mr. William M. Rossetti, Mr. Alexander Carlyle, Miss Froude, Miss Boyd, to my sisters for their help, and many others for permission to publish. Besides these my thanks are tendered to Messrs. Smith, Elder Co., for permission to print the letters of Robert Browning; to Messrs. Macmillan for the permit to include in this memoir AS ea Story ;and to the Proprietors of Punch for special permission to reprint the verses of November 12, 1859. A my Woolner.

He was born in Hadleigh, Suffolk on December 17, 1825.
In December 1842 Woolner was admitted a student in the Royal Academy, and in 1843 exhibited his " Eleanor sucking Poison from the Wound of Prince Edward. "
In 1844, among the competitive works for decorating the Houses of Parliament was his life-size group of " The Death of Boadicea. " In 1846 he had at the Royal Academy a graceful bas-relief of Shelley's " Alastor. " Then came (1847) " Feeding the Hungry, " a bas-relief, at the Academy; and at the British Institution a brilliant statuetteof "Puck" perched upon a toadstool and with his toe rousing a frog. "Eros and Euphrosyne " and "The Rainbow " were seen at the Academy in 1848.
Woolner became, in the autumn of 1848, one of the seven Pre-Raphaelite Brethren, and took a leading part in The Germ (1850), the opening poem in which, called "My Beautiful Lady".
He had already modelled and exhibited portraits of Carlyle, Browning and Tennyson. Unable to make his way in art as he wished, Woolner in 1852 tried his luck as a gold-digger in Australia.
Failing in this, he returned to England in 1857, where during his absence his reputation had been increased by means of a statue of "Love" as a damsel lost in a daydream.
Then came his second portraits of Carlyle, Tennyson and Browning, the figures of Moses, David, St John the Baptist and St Paul for the pulpit of Llandaff cathedral, the medallion portrait of Wordsworth in Grasmere church, the likenesses of Sir Thomas Fairbairn, Rajah Brooke of Sarawak, Mrs Tennyson, Sir W. Hooker and Sir F. Palgrave.
The fine statue of Bacon in the New Museum at Oxford was succeeded by full-size statues of Prince Albert for Oxford, Macaulay for Cambridge, William III for the Houses of Parliament, London, and Sir Bartle Frere for Bombay; busts of Tennyson, for Trinity College, Cambridge, Dr Whcwell, and Archdeacon Hare; statues of Lord Lawrence for Calcutta, Queen Victoria for Birmingham, Field for the Law Courls, London, Palmerston for Palace Yard, the noble colossal standing figure of Captain Cook that overlooks the harbour of Sydney.
New South Wales, which is Woolner's masterpiece in that class; the recumbent effigy of Lord F. Cavendish (murdered in Dublin) in Cartmel church, the seated Lord Chief Justice Whiteside for the Four Courts, Dublin, and John Stuart Mill for the Thames Embankment, London; Landseer, and Bishop Jackson for St Paul's, Bishop Fraser for Manchester, and Sir Stamford Raffles for Singapore.
Among Woolner's busts are those of Newman, Darwin, Sedgwick, Huxley, Cobden, Professor Lushington, Dickens, Kingsley, and Sir William Gull, besides the repetition, with variations, of Gladstone for the Bodleian, Oxford, and Mansion House, London, and Tennyson. The last was acquired for Adelaide, South Australia.
Woolner's poetic and imaginative sculptures include "Elaine with the Shield of Lancelot, " three fine panels for the pedestal of the Gladstone bust at Cambridge, the noble and original "Moses " which was commissioned in 1861 and is on the apex of the gable of the Manchester Assize Courts, and two other works in the same building; "Ophelia, " a statue (1869); "Memoriam"; "Virgilia sees in a vision Coriolanus routing the Volsces" Guinevere "Mercury teaching a shepherd to sing, " for the Royal College of Music; "Ophelia, " a bust (1878); "Godiva, " and "The Water Lily. "
Woolner wrote and published two amended versions of "My Beautiful Lady " from The Germ, as well as "Pygmalion " (1881), "Silenus " (1884), "Tiresias " (1886), and ''Poems'' (1887) comprising "Nelly Dale " (1886) and "Children. " Having been elected professor of sculpture in the Royal Academy, Woolner began to prepare lectures, but they were never delivered, for he resigned the office in 1879.
He died suddenly on the 7th of October 1892, and was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's, Hendon.

He was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
In 1864 he married Alice Gertrude Waugh, by whom he had two sons and four daughters. Woolner and Alice had six children, four daughters and two sons. His eldest child, Amy, later wrote a biography of her father. His two sons Hugh (1866–1925) and Geoffrey (1867–1882) were sent to Marlborough College, where Geoffrey died at the age of 14. Hugh became a stockbroker.
