Lionel Pigot Johnson (15 March 1867 – 4 October 1902) was an English poet, essayist, and critic.
Life
In 1867, Johnson was born in Broadstairs, Kent, England, and educated at Winchester College. While at Winchester, Johnson became acquainted with Frank Russell, 2nd Earl Russell. Russell later published Some Winchester Letters of Lionel Johnson (1919) in a lengthy religious discussion that Russell later published as Some Winchester Letters of Lionel Johnson (1919).
Johnson graduated from New College, Oxford, in 1890, and in June 1891, he converted to Catholicism. At the time, Johnson introduced Lord Alfred Douglas to his friend, Oscar Wilde. Johnson later condemned Wilde in "The Destroyer of a Soul" (1892) and deeply regretted that he had unintentionally started the illicit homosexual relationship that had devolved into a public scandal.
Johnson wrote "Dark Angel" in 1893, what some regard as his best work. He published The Art of Thomas Hardy (1894), Poems (1895), and Ireland and Other Poems (1897). Johnson was a member of the Rhymers' Club and cousin to Olivia Shakespear (who dedicated her book The False Laurel to her).
Johnson died of a "cerebral haemorrhage" in 1902, after collapsing in the Green Dragon in London's Fleet Street. The tale of Johnson's being struck and killed by a hansom cab is a myth.
