John Heneage Jesse

He also wrote a drama, Richard III, and a fragmentary poem entitled London.

None of these ventures achieved any success, but his numerous historical works are written with vivacity and interest, and, in their own style, are an important contribution to the history of England.

They are sketches of the principal personages and of the social details of various periods in the history of England rather than complete and comprehensive historical narratives.

A collected edition containing most of his works in thirty volumes was published in London in 1901.
