William Watson

About the Author

Sir William Watson (1858-1935) was a prolific English poet and critic. He was a contender for Poet Laureate following the death of Tennyson, but lost out because of his strong political views. His many poetry collections included The Prince’s Quest and Other Poems (1880), The Hope of the World and Other Poems (1898), and Retrogression and Other Poems (1917).
