ABSTRACT
Published 1889. Written early 1888 (ll. 6–8), and read to F. T. Palgrave in Nov. (Mem. ii 507). T. comments that Ulysses was ‘the title of a number of essays by W. G. Palgrave. He died at Monte Video before seeing my poem’. Palgrave was the brother of F. T. Palgrave (friend of T., and editor of The Golden Treasury); T. had met him many times since 1860. His Ulysses was published in Nov. 1887, and T. was presented with a copy; he died 30 Sept. 1888 (Mem. ii 507). T. uses the In Memoriam stanza to praise the book, as in To E.L. (p. 486). On Palgrave and his book, Ulysses: or, Scenes and Studies in Many Lands, see W. N. Rogers, VP xix (1981) 351–66.
