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. |
