John Payne was much admired in the late 19th and early 20th centuries both for his original verse and for his translations of Arabic and Persian narratives. Payne was born in 1842 and lived for most of his life in London, where he worked as a solicitor. From 1866 onwards, he moved in artistic and literary circles, meeting some of the Pre-Raphaelites, Arthur O'Shaugnessy, Swinburne, Catulle Mendes, Anatole France, Richard Burton and others. Payne's remarkable aptitude for languages enabled him to translate French, Italian Turkish, Arabic and Persian prose and verse. He never married and in later life became a recluse, dying on 15 February 1916.
