| Summary | "The Life of Francis Thompson" by Everard Meynell is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life of Francis Thompson, a Victorian poet best known for his poem "The Hound of Heaven." The biography details Thompson’s formative years, exploring his complex childhood and early influences, setting the stage for his later struggles as an artist in a challenging social landscape. At the start of the biography, we are introduced to the early life of Francis Thompson, born into a family with a rich history yet marked by emotional and social struggles. The narrative recounts his childhood in Preston, revealing a sensitive and introspective boy who grapples with the intricacies of love, loneliness, and imagination. Meynell provides a vivid depiction of Thompson’s upbringing, his relationship with literature, and the emotional undercurrents that shaped his poetic voice. This initial chapter sets an intimate tone, suggesting that Thompson's journey is as much about his internal landscapes as it is about his external circumstances.
