Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy (14 March 1844 – 30 January 1881) was a British poet, born in London to Irish parents. At the age of seventeen, in June 1861, he received the post of transcriber in the library of the British Museum, reportedly through the influence of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. Two years later, at the age of nineteen, he became an assistant in the natural history department, where he specialised in Ichthyology. However, his true passion was for literature. <a href="https://www
