Autorenporträt
Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore was an esteemed English poet and critic, widely recognized for his contributions to Victorian literature. Born on July 23, 1823, in Essex, he garnered acclaim primarily for his 1854 poem, 'The Angel in the House,' which celebrated marital love and had a significant impact on domestic ideals of the era. Patmore's literary journey reflects his profound interest in the intersection of the spiritual and the romantic, facets eloquently explored in his verse. 'The Unknown Eros,' another one of his masterpieces, stands as a testament to his lyrical prowess and deep consideration of divine love. This collection of odes, first published in 1877, showcases Patmore's mature poetic voice and spiritual sensibility. His sophisticated use of poetic forms and metrical innovation cemented his reputation as an artist of eloquent expression and philosophical depth. As a critic, Patmore also contributed insightful essays on art and poetry, further influencing Victorian aesthetics and thought. His works demonstrate a unique blend of the high moral tone of the Victorian period mingled with a distinctive artistic sensibility. Patmore passed away on November 26, 1896, but left behind a legacy of work that continues to be studied for its influence on nineteenth-century literature and its rich explorations of human and divine love.
