Alfred Austin
| birth_place = Headingley, Yorkshire, England | death_date = | death_place = Ashford, Kent, England | nationality = English | occupation = Poet, novelist, dramatist | spouse = Hester Jane Homan-Mulock | signature = }} Alfred Austin (30 May 1835 – 2 June 1913) was an English poet who was appointed Poet Laureate in 1896, after an interval following the death of Tennyson, when the other candidates had either caused controversy or refused the honour. It was claimed that he was being rewarded for his support for the Conservative leader Lord Salisbury in the General Election of 1895. Austin's poems are little remembered today, his most popular work being prose idylls celebrating nature. Wilfred Scawen Blunt wrote of him, “He is an acute and ready reasoner, and is well read in theology and science. It is strange his poetry should be such poor stuff, and stranger still that he should imagine it immortal.” Provided by Wikipedia
