About the author
Henry Bryan Binns was an English poet and writer, born in 1873 and died in 1923. His work ranged widely across poetry, biography, criticism, and cultural history, showing a lively curiosity rather than a narrow specialty.
He published poetry collections including Moods and Outdoor Verses, The Wanderer and Other Poems, April Nineteen-Fifteen, November: Poems in War Time, and Hill-tops. He also wrote books on figures such as Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, and Botticelli, along with other literary and historical works.
Binns is especially remembered for A Life of Walt Whitman (1905) and Walt Whitman and His Poetry (1915). The Whitman Archive describes him as a minor English poet and biographer, but his Whitman studies remain notable for helping shape early 20th-century views of the American poet.
