Hood, English poet and editor of various prominent magazines and periodicals, is chiefly remembered for his humorous work (including Miss Kilmansegg, which appeared in the New Monthly Magazine). However, Hood wrote a number of serious poems for which he is also known including: the popular Song of the Shirt (published anonymously in Punch in 1843, which became a call to arms for workers protesting against industrial exploitation); The Bridge of Sighs; The Haunted House; The Elm Tree; The Plea of the Midsummer Fairies; and shorter pieces such as The Deathbed.
