The Wreck of the Abergavenny by Hayter Alethea
John Wordsworth, brother of the more famous William, set sail in charge of a merchant ship, the Abergavenny, planning to share his fortunes with William. But John ended in a watery grave and William could see the best of his work was now behind him. This title concerns this episode in history.
Alethea Hayter is the very highly regarded author of many works of literary criticism. Most particularly she is the author of A Sultry Month, a wonderful book first published in 1965, following the intersecting lives of a number of writers - Browning, the Carlyles - in London during the unusually hot August of 1846. She is 92 years old and lives in Vauxhall.
