HENRY (1843-1901) , See also:English poet and essayist, son of Frederic Myers of See also:Keswick—author of Lectures on See also:Great Men (1856) and See also:Catholic Thoughts (first collected 1873), a See also:book marked by a most admirable See also:prose See also:style—was See also:born at Keswick, See also:Cumberland, on the 6th of See also:February 1843, and educated at See also:Cheltenham and Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, where he won a See also:long See also:list of honours and in 1865 was appointed classical lecturer. He had no love for teaching, which he soon discontinued, but he took up his permanent See also:abode at Cambridge . in 1872, when he became a school inspector under the See also:Education See also:Department. Meanwhile he published, in 1867, an unsuccessful See also:essay for the Seatonian See also:prize, a poem entitled St See also:Paul, which met at the hands of the See also:general public with a success that would be difficult to explain, for it lacks sincerity and represents views which the writer rapidly outgrew. It was followed by small volumes of collected verses in 1870 and 1882: both are marked by a flow of rhetorical ardour which culminates in a poem of real beauty, " The Renewal of Youth," in the 1882 collection. His best See also:verse is in heroic couplets. Myers is more likely to be remembered by his two volumes of Essays, Classical and See also:Modern (1883). The essay on See also:Virgil, by far the best thing he ever wrote, represents the matured See also:enthusiasm of a student and a See also:disciple to whom the exquisite artificiality and refined culture of Virgil's method were profoundly congenial. Next to this in value is the carefully wrought essay on See also:Ancient See also:Greek Oracles (this had first appeared in Hellenica). Scarcely less delicate in phrasing and See also:perception, if less penetrating in insight, is the monograph on See also:Wordsworth (1881) for the " English Men of Letters " See also:series. In 1882, after several years of inquiry and discussion, Myers took the See also:lead among a small See also:band of explorers (including Henry See also:Sidgwick and See also:Richard See also:Hodgson, See also:Edmund See also:Gurney and F. Podmore), who founded the society for Psychical See also:Research. He continued for many years to be the See also:mouthpiece of the society, a position for which his perfervidum. ingenium, still more his abnormal fluency and alertness, admirably fitted him. He contributed greatly to the coherence of the society by steering a See also:mid-course between extremes (the extreme sceptics on the one See also:hand, and the enthusiastic spiritualists on the other), and by helping to sift and revise the cumbrous See also:mass of
Proceedings, the See also:chief See also:concrete results being the two volumes of Phantasms of the Living (r886), to which he contributed the introduction. Like many theorists, he had. a See also:faculty for ignoring hard facts, and in his anxiety to generalize plausibly upon the alleged data, and to See also:hammer out striking formulae, his insight into the real See also:character of the See also:evidence may have See also:left something to be desired. His long series of papers on subliminal consciousness, the results of which were embodied in a See also:posthumous See also:work called Human See also:Personality and its Survival of Bodily See also:Death (2 vols. 1903), constitute his own chief contribution to psychical theory. This, as he himself would have been the first to admit, was little more than provisional; but See also:Professor William See also:- JAMES

James has pointed out that the series of papers on subliminal consciousness is " the first See also:attempt to consider the phenomena of See also:hallucination, See also:hypnotism, See also:automatism, See also:double personality and mediumship, as connected parts of one whole subject." The last work published in his lifetime was a small collection of essays, See also:Science and a Future See also:Life (1893). He died at See also:Rome on the 17th of See also:January 19o1, but was buried in his native See also:soil at Keswick.
