In December 1842 Woolner was admitted a student in the Royal See also:Academy, and in 1843 exhibited his " Eleanor sucking See also:Poison from the See also:Wound of See also:Prince See also:Edward." In 1844, among the competitive See also:works for decorating the Houses of See also:Parliament was his See also:life-See also:size See also:group of " The See also:Death of See also:Boadicea." In 1846 he had at the Royal Academy a graceful bas-See also:relief of See also:Shelley's " See also:Alastor." Then came (1847) " Feeding the Hungry," a bas-relief, at the Academy; and at the British Institution a brilliant statuette
of " Puck " perched upon a See also:toadstool and with his toe rousing a See also:frog. " See also:Eros and See also:Euphrosyne " and " The See also:Rainbow " were seen at the Academy in 1848.

He had already modelled and exhibited portraits of See also:Carlyle, See also:Browning and See also:Tennyson. Unable to make his way in See also:art as he wished, Woolner in 1852 tried his See also:luck as a See also:gold-digger in See also:Australia. Failing in this, he returned to See also:England in 18J7, where during his See also:absence his reputation had been in-creased by means of a statue of "Love" as a damsel lost in a See also:day-See also:dream.
