Abstract
O’Shaughnessy was a minor literary figure, a friend of the Pre-Raphaelite D. G. Rossetti. He worked in the Department of Printed Books at the British Museum, wrote poetry, and produced several volumes during his lifetime. His best known poem, and the one which was most popular with his Victorian audience, is his Ode, ‘We are the music-makers’.
