Zusammenfassung:"The golden hope of his generation at Rugby and Oxford, he battled against the repressive orthodoxies of his time to produce some of the 19th century's most witty and original verse. Sexually and morally tortured, he died at a tragically early age, his health destroyed by his devotion to the cause of Florence Nightingale."
