William Caldwell Roscoe (1823–1859) was an English journalist and poet. LifeBorn at Liverpool on 20 September 1823, he was son of William Stanley Roscoe and grandson of William Roscoe; his mother Hannah Eliza Caldwell, was daughter of James Caldwell of Linley Wood in Staffordshire, and a sister of Anne Marsh-Caldwell. He was educated at a private school, St. Domingo House, near Liverpool, and then at University College, London, graduating in the University of London in 1843.[1][2] Roscoe was called to the bar in 1850, but after two years relinquished practice, partly for health reasons, but also from doubts of his qualifications for his profession. He married, and then lived mostly in Wales, where he was interested in slate quarries and spent time writing. He died at Richmond, Surrey of typhoid fever, on 30 July 1859.[1] WorksRoscoe published two tragedies, Eliduc (1846) and Violenzia (1851, anon.), and much verse. As a journalist he had numerous essays in the Prospective Review, and the National Review, of which his brother-in-law Richard Holt Hutton was editor. These compositions were collected and published in 1860 by Hutton, with a memoir; the poems and dramas were republished in 1891 by his daughter, Elizabeth Mary Roscoe.[1] FamilyRoscoe married in 1855 Emily, daughter of William Malin of Derby.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite DNB|wstitle=Roscoe, William Caldwell|volume=49}} Attribution{{DNB|wstitle=Roscoe, William Caldwell|volume=49}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Roscoe, William Caldwell}}2. ^{{cite ODNB|id=24085|title=Roscoe, William Caldwell|first=Dennis M.|last=Read}} 11 : 1823 births|1859 deaths|English barristers|English male journalists|English dramatists and playwrights|19th-century British journalists|English male dramatists and playwrights|English male poets|19th-century English poets|19th-century English dramatists and playwrights|19th-century British male writers |
