Theodore Watts-Dunton was an author and critic, perhaps best known for his notable literary friendships. Born in Huntingdonshire and educated at Cambridge, he worked in the office of his solicitor father, and became a solicitor himself; he gave up the practice to devote his life to literature. He wrote literary criticism, poetry, and the popular novel Aylwin, and was a popular columnist noted for his critical acumen. He also formed close friendships with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and later Algernon Charles Swinburne; he acted as Swinburne's agent, and later had the poet move in with him to care for his poor health and alcoholism.
