Aristocrats Snub Miller Yet Praise His Wild Verse Abroad
M D Conway writes from London to the Cincinnati Commercial noting Americans abroad face snobbery about titles, yet English aristocrats invite Joaquin Miller to visit and admire his forest poetry. Gladstone courted Miller at Hawarden Castle. Miller did not attend. Reports of Miller’s marriage to a baronet’s daughter are unfounded. Miller is intimate with Lord Houghton and is praised by the aristocracy for having “seen life.”
