Excerpt from Dreamthorp: A Book of Essays Written in the Country Alexander smith, the author of Dreamtkorp, was born at Kilmarnock in Ayrshire on the last day of the year 1830, and died near Edinburgh on January 5, 1867. His whole life, therefore, covered little more than half the allotted Span, and what we may call his effective life - deducting the years of immaturity - was considerably less than half of what is normal. Yet in these thirty-six years Smith touched almost the extreme heights and depths of obscurity, fame, and neglect; and this fact imparts an aspect of romance to a career which was in its outward circumstances eminently prosaic and commonplace. Smith's father was a designer of patterns for lace-work; and at some period, vaguely referred to by the biographers of the poet as in his child hood' or in 'a few years' after Alexander's birth, he found it expedient to remove to Paisley, the centre in those days of the trade in a celebrated kind of shawl which required designs similar to those used by the lace-workers. Thence, 'in a short time the family removed to Glasgow, with which city are associated Smith's youth and the opening of his literary career, and to which is dedicated the finest of his poems. The accounts of his education are equally vague. He is said to have received 'a good general education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Dreamthorp: Eight Essays The title-essay of this volume may be described as the best-loved-least-known essay in English letters. Many readers have never even heard of it; among those who know it there has developed a cult which is unbounded in its affectionate devotion. Alexander Smith, who wrote this succès d'estime, died on January 5th, 1867, only five days after he had completed his thirty-sixth year. His background had been commonplace; his first literary work to be published a poem in the Glasgow Evening Citizen. A few poems then appeared in London publications; and in 1853, when he was only twenty-three, his Poems was published. This first book, and especially that part of it called A Life-Drama, was a phenomenal success. "It was received with applause so loud and unanimous that the morning when Byron awoke and found himself famous has been spoken of as the closest parallel." Smith was called the greatest poet since Keats; he was called a greater poet than Keats; he was rated with Tennyson; he was compared with Shakespeare. But within a year W. E. Aytoun had parodied Smith (and Sydney Dobell) in a piece called Firmilian, and such was the success of this parody, although it was not written with malice, that Smith lost his poetic reputation almost as fast as he had found it, and was tagged with its damning phrase "Spasmodic Poet" for the rest of his life. Smith is said to have taken the parody and his subsequent poetic eclipse with dignity and good humor, just as he had taken his first success with real modesty. Smith had abandoned his father's trade, pattern-maker for Paisley shawls, after his first success at poetry; and in the same year that the fateful Firmilian appeared, he became Secretary to the University of Edinburgh. His salary there was small, but it just enabled him to live. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
