T. W. H. (Thomas William Hodgson) Crosland

Born in 1865, T. W. H. Crosland was an English poet, novelist, and essayist who wrote under the full name Thomas William Hodgson Crosland. He became known for lively verse, criticism, and prose that often carried a provocative, combative tone.

Crosland moved in literary circles during the late Victorian and Edwardian years and developed a reputation for saying exactly what he thought. That outspokenness helped make him memorable, even when it also made him controversial.

He died in 1924. Today he is remembered as a vivid minor figure of his period: a writer whose poems, fiction, and essays reflect both the wit and the quarrels of his age.
