George Barlow (19 June 1847, in London [1] – 1913 or 1914 [2]) was an English poet, who sometimes wrote under the pseudonym James Hinton.
Barlow was the son of George Barnes Barlow, Master of the Crown Office, [3] and was educated at Harrow School and Exeter College, Oxford. [4] He moved to London in 1871, and continued to live there after his marriage a year later. [2] A prolific poet, his collected Poetical Works amounted to over 3,000 pages of verse. Barlow was dubbed the 'Bard of the sixteen sonnets a day' by his acquaintance Charles Marston, and 'the Poet of spiritualism' by Edward Bennett; his sonnet sequences explored spiritualism and erotic love. [5]
In addition to his published poetry oeuvre, Barlow wrote at least two non-fiction books, History of the Dreyfus case (1898) and The genius of Dickens. He was a regular contributor to the Contemporary Review.
