Allingham, William

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Allingham, William (1824-1889)

Irish poet. His work frequently has a strong regional and nostalgic quality; in Laurence Bloomfield in Ireland (1864) he displays an acute agrarian realism. Other volumes of his verse include Poems (1850) and Irish Songs and Poems (1887).

His Diary, edited 1907 by his wife, tells of his friendships with Tennyson, Leigh Hunt, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

His interest in the ballad form and his songs later influenced W B Yeats and Padraic Colum.
