Summary "Homes and Haunts of the Most Eminent British Poets, Vol. 2" by William Howitt is a biographical collection written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the lives and residences of notable British poets, offering insights into their environments and the influence these places had on their poetry. The text not only showcases the poets themselves but also reflects on the transformative power of their surroundings. The beginning of this volume provides an overview of notable poets whose lives are explored, such as George Crabbe and James Hogg. It captures Howitt's admiration for these figures, particularly Crabbe's unique approach to poetry that deviated from the idealized representations common in his day. The text discusses the stark realities depicted in Crabbe's work, eloquently contrasting these against the backdrop of traditional literature. Howitt sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the lives, inspirations, and settings that shaped these eminent poets throughout the rest of the book.
