"Homes and Haunts of the Most Eminent British Poets, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by William Howitt is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the residences and significant locations associated with renowned British poets, excluding those known primarily for their dramatic works. It sets out to trace the literary history and physical spaces where these writers found inspiration, while noting the often-obscured legacies of their lives and works. The opening of the book introduces the premise of exploring the homes and haunts of British poets, starting with Geoffrey Chaucer. Howitt reflects on the passage of time and the erasure of the physical connections to poets' lives, as their abodes succumb to decay. He discusses Chaucer's enigmatic biography, detailing his humble beginnings in London, his education, and his esteemed position at court, along with the mysteries that surround his final days. The text emphasizes the personal and historical significance of these poets’ locales, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the intertwining of their lives and their legacies as artists. This portion thus builds a foundation for the reader's journey through the rich tapestry of British poetic history.
