About this listen

William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) was an influential British editor, critic and poet of the late-Victorian period. As the editor of several literary magazines, Henley exerted a considerable influence on the literary culture of his time. He and his followers (known jokingly as the Henley Regatta) promoted realism and opposed Decadence in literature through his own essays and through the works of authors he published.
