Baring-Gould, Sabine

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | Copyright

Baring-Gould, Sabine (1834–1924), travelled much on the Continent during his boyhood, then was educated at Clare College, Cambridge. In 1867 he married a mill girl, an experience described in his first novel Through Fire and Flame (1868). An extremely prolific writer, he wrote dozens of works on travel, religion, folklore, local legend, and folk song, composed various hymns (including ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’), and published some 30 novels, of which the most celebrated, Mehalah (1880), was compared by Swinburne to Wuthering Heights.
