"Henry Theodore Tuckerman (1813-1871) was an American writer, essayist and critic. Tuckerman was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He was a sympathetic and delicate critic, with a graceful style. He wrote extensively both in prose and verse. He travelled much in Italy, which influenced his choice of subjects in his earlier writings. These include The Italian Sketch-book (1835), Isabel, or Sicily: A Pilgrimage (1839); two volumes of verse, Poems (1851) and A Sheaf of Verse (1864); Thoughts on the Poets (1864), The Book of the Artists (1867), Leaves from the Diary of a Dreamer, etc. He was prominent in the literary life of New York City after 1845."
