Shepherd of Salisbury Plain.

CREATED/PUBLISHED
London, England: Punch, XLII, p. 47, February 1, 1862

NOTES
This poem, which borrowed its title from Hannah More, was an attack on Walter Keir Hamilton, Bishop of Salisbury, who was in dispute with one of his clergy. Two eight-line stanzas in manuscript replying to this poem, and entitled "Sequel to The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain," was found at Christ Church in 1952 among the Common Room papers of C. L. Dodgson. It was thought to be by Dodgson. However, the handwriting suggests that the author may have been his friend and colleague, Thomas Vere Bayne. See Handbook, p. 20.
