About this book
The contents of The Life of Francis Thompson list subjects ranging from the child and the boy to literary beginnings, friends and opinions, and the closing years. The acknowledgments thank helpers for research work, letters, and memories. Dr. Mann describes the new boy's assigned bedplace and playfellows, recalling the nickname by which the boy was known for the next seven years.
The recollection describes a habit of sidling along the wall and hitching up a coat collar as though the coat were slipping from thinly covered shoulders. The account of reading recalls hours in a well-stocked juvenile library when schoolfellows were far afield, together with a particular fondness for history, wars, and battles. The narrative records Coventry Patmore's stay at Pantasaph in 1894 as a member of the Third Order.
