Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (23 July 1823 – 26 November 1896) was an English poet and critic best known for The Angel in the House, his narrative poem about the Victorian ideal of a happy marriage. As a young man, Patmore found employment in the British Museum.
Upon the publication of his first book of poems in 1844, he became acquainted with members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
After the death of his first wife, the grief of loss became in great measure his later theme.
Patmore is today one of the least-known but best-regarded Victorian poets.
