THOMAS (1814-1902), Irish poet and critic, was See also:born at See also:Curragh See also:Chase, Co. See also:Limerick, on the loth of See also:January 1814, being the third son of See also:Sir Aubrey de Vere See also:Hunt (1788-1846). In 1832 his See also:father dropped the final name by royal See also:licence. Sir Aubrey was himself a poet. See also:Wordsworth called his sonnets the " most perfect of the See also:age." These and his See also:drama, See also:Mary Tudor, were published by his son in 1875 and 1884. Aubrey de Vere was educated at Trinity See also:College, See also:Dublin, and in his twenty-eighth See also:year published The Waldenses, which he followed up in the next year by The See also:Search after See also:Proserpine. Thence-forward he was continually engaged, till his See also:death on the loth of January 1902, in the See also:production of See also:poetry and See also:criticism. His best-known See also:works are: in See also:verse, The Sisters (1861); The See also:Infant Bridal (1864); Irish Odes (1869); Legends of St See also:Patrick (1872); and Legends of the Saxon See also:Saints (1879); and in See also:prose, Essays chiefly on Poetry (1887); and Essays chiefly See also:Literary and Ethical (1889). He also wrote a picturesque See also:volume of travel-sketches, and two dramas in verse, See also:Alexander the See also:Great (1874); and St Thomas of See also:Canterbury (1876); both of which, though they contain See also:fine passages, suffer from diffuseness and a lack of dramatic spirit. The characteristics of Aubrey de Vere's poetry are " high seriousness " and a fine religious See also:enthusiasm. His See also:research in questions of faith led him to the See also:Roman See also:- CHURCH

Peter's Chains (1888), he made See also:rich additions to devotional verse. He was a See also:disciple of Wordsworth, whose See also:calm meditative serenity he often echoed with great felicity; and his See also:affection for See also:Greek poetry, truly See also:felt and understood, gave dignity and See also:weight to his own versions of mythological idylls. But perhaps he will be chiefly remembered for the impulse which he gave to the study of See also:Celtic See also:legend and literature. In this direction he has had many followers, who have sometimes assumed the See also:appearance of pioneers; but after See also:Matthew See also:Arnold's fine lecture on " Celtic Literature," nothing perhaps did more to help the Celtic revival than Aubrey de Vere's See also:tender insight into the Irish See also:character, and his stirring reproductions of the See also:early Irish epic poetry.
A volume of Selections from his poems was edited in 1894 (New See also:York and See also:London) by G. E. Woodberry.
