John Davidson (1857-1909)
John Davidson (1857-1909) was a Scottish poet who after trying his hand at teaching came to London a little after his thirtieth birthday. Unfortunately, even in London he continued to struggle, but nevertheless remained a busy writer with various poetry collections, literary dramas and novels to his name. He established a small reputation as a lyric poet, but earned little money. Despairing, he drowned himself in the ocean near Penzance in 1909.
