ABSTRACT
He worked with the painter William Nicholson on London Types (1898) and collaborated on a selection of Wilfrid Blunt's poetry with George Wyndham (1898). He was on the move again, this time to the seaside resort of Worthing on the Sussex coast. Here he wrote a monthly article for the Pall Mall Magazine, which included his 'assassin' article on Stevenson in December 1901. The Boer War fired him to write patriotic verse which appeared in the Sphere and was also published as For England's Sake (1901). He published his lyrical Hawthorn and Lavender (1901) and started on an edition of Shakespeare which was completed by Walter Raleigh. He also worked on editions of Smollett (1899-1901), Fielding (1903) and Hazlitt (1902-04). In 1902 the Henleys made what was to be their final move, this time to Woking in Surrey. An accident while boarding a train left him severely shaken and contributed to his further poor health. His last published literary work was his A Song of Speed (1903) in praise of the motor car. He died on 11 July 1903.
