Biographical History
American author and poet, born and died in Guildford, Connecticut. After a youth spent in business in Connecticut, Halleck came to New York City and attracted attention with humorous articles he wrote for the New York Evening Post. In 1819 he published the first of several editions of his longest single poem, Fanny, a satire on current fashions, social climbings, and politics written in the stanza form and meter of Byron's Don Juan. Halleck's output was small and much of his best work was included inhis Poems of 1827. His correspondent, William Loring Andrews, would become well known in New York City as a book collector, amateur publisher, writer and founding member of the Grolier Club.
Poet.
American poet.
Fitz-Greene Halleck was a poet and long-time member of New York's literary circle. Born in Guilford, Conn., to Puritan stock, Halleck moved to New York and began working for banker Jacob Barker; he would later serve as John Jacob Aster's private secretary. He started writing poetry, and had early success writing with Joseph Rodman Drake as The Croakers. His verse was light and witty, distinguished by lyricism, satirically commenting on contemporary social issues in traditional narrative forms, and reminiscent of Byron. Although a popular and respected poet, he insisted on amateur status, and wrote little verse in his later years. After his death, a statue of the poet was dedicated in Central Park.
