Hoods position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellently which in
the general view are incompatible. in
which case popular opinion generally
fixes on the inferior gift as representing
the writer's real capacity. He was q
funny man" as well as lyric poet OF
real quality and earnest aims and was
so admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely an ambitious
bid for . reputation 1t was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some 10 years Of his
short life. But that this was due to a
necessity for finding ready market for
bis wares is, think, beyond doubt. =
