Coventry Patmore
Coventry Patmore1823–189619th century Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore was an English poet and literary critic. He is best known for his book of poetry The Angel in the House (1854), a narrative poem about the Victorian ideal of a happy marriage. As a young man, Patmore worked for the British Museum in London.

His grief over the death of his first wife, Emily Augusta Patmore in 1862, became a major theme in his poetry.
