He once accosted his good friend John Everett Millais' mother on the street in order to purchase A Dream of the Past, one of Millais' works. Late in life he returned to the theater with his dramatization of Zola's L'Assommoir entitled Drink, but his first theatrical success was a collaboration with Tom Taylor, Masks and Faces. He used that work as the basis for Peg Woffington, atypical of his novels of social critique as in his attack on prisons in It Is Never Too Late to Mend and mental asylums in Hard Cash. His best known work also diverges in telling of the romance of Margaret and Gerard, a medieval couple. For ten points, name this 19th-century English writer who wrote of Erasmus' parents in The Cloister and the Hearth.
