Written with its subject’s cooperation in 1904, this study follows Theodore Watts-Dunton from his East Anglian boyhood and early fascination with gypsies to his London career as critic for the Athenaeum. It covers his friendships with George Borrow, Rossetti, William Morris and Swinburne, and his theory of the ‘renascence of wonder’ in English poetry.
