Gray. His See also:essay on Gray, originally contributed to the Cornhill See also:Magazine, tells the See also:story of their See also:close friendship, and of their See also:journey to See also:London in 186o in See also:search of fame. After a See also:period of struggle and disappointment Buchanan published Undertones in 1863. This " tentative " See also:volume was followed by Idyls and Legends of Inverburn (1865), London Poems (1866), and See also:North See also:Coast and other Poems (1868), wherein he displayed a See also:faculty for poetic narrative, and a sympathetic insight into the humbler conditions of See also:life. On the whole, Buchanan is at his best in these narrative poems, though he essayed a more ambitious See also:flight in The See also:Book of See also:Orm: A Prelude to the Epic, a study in See also:mysticism, which appeared in 1870. He was a frequent contributor to periodical literature, and obtained notoriety by an See also:article which, under the nom de plume of See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Maitland, he contributed to the Contemporary See also:Review for See also:October 1871, entitled " The Fleshly School of See also:Poetry." This article was See also:expanded into a pamphlet (1872), but he subsequently withdrew from the criticisms it contained, and it is chiefly remembered by the replies it evoked from D. G. See also:Rossetti in a See also:letter to the See also:Athenaeum (16th See also:December 1871), entitled " The Stealthy School of See also:Criticism," and from Mr See also:Swinburne in Under the See also:Microscope (1872). Buchanan himself afterwards regretted the violence of his attack, and the " old enemy " to whom See also:God and the See also:Man is dedicated was Rossetti. In 1876 appeared The See also:Shadow of the See also:Sword, the first and one of the best of a See also:long See also:series of novels. Buchanan was also the author of many successful plays, among which may be mentioned See also:Lady See also:Clare, produced in 1883; See also:Sophia (1886), an See also:adaptation of Tom See also:- JONES

In 1896 he became, so far as some of his See also:work was concerned, his own publisher. In the autumn of 1900 he had a paralytic seizure, from which he never recovered. He died at See also:Streatham on the loth of See also:June 1901.
Buchanan's poems were collected into three volumes in 1874, into one volume in 1884; and as See also:Complete Poetical See also:Works (2 vols., 1901). Among his poems should also be mentioned: " The See also:Drama of See also:Kings" (1871); " St Abe and his Seven Wives," a lively See also:tale of See also:Salt See also:Lake See also:City, published anonymously in 1872; and " See also:Balder the Beautiful " (1877); " The City of See also:Dream " (1888); " The Outcast: a See also:Rhyme for the See also:- TIME (0.

Time " (1881); and " The Wandering See also:Jew " (1893). His earlier novels, The Shadow of the Sword, and God and the Man (1881), a striking tale of a See also:family See also:feud, are distinguished by a certain breadth and simplicity of treatment which is not so noticeable in their successors, among which may be mentioned The Martyrdom of Madeline (1882); See also:Foxglove See also:Manor (1885); Effie Hetherington (1896); and Father See also:Anthony (1898). David Gray and other Essays, chiefly on Poetry (1868); See also:Master See also:Spirits (1873); A Poet's See also:Sketch Book (1883), in which the interesting essay on Gray is reprinted; and A Look See also:round Literature (1887), contain Buchanan's See also:chief contributions to periodical literature.
