Bailey, Philip James

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | Copyright

Bailey, Philip James (1816–1902), author of the long poem Festus (1839; enlarged 1845; final edition 1889). The final edition exceeded 40,000 lines and incorporated the greater part of three volumes of poetry that had appeared in the interval (The Angel World, 1850; The Mystic, 1855; Universal Hymn, 1867). Festus is Bailey's own version of the legend of Goethe's Faust; it was also strongly influenced by Paradise Lost. At one time it was immensely popular but, like the other works of the Spasmodic school of which Bailey was considered the father, it is now almost unreadable.
