Robert Millhouse

Robert Millhouse (1788–1839) was an English Spenserian poet, born in Nottingham, England.

Contemporaneously compared to Robert Bloomfield and John Clare, he too obtained some fame as a provincial poet, though his own life was affected by his serial marriages, ill-health and poverty. His Poetical Blossoms was somewhat notably edited by fellow Nottingham poet, clergyman and antiquary Reverend Luke Booker, in 1823.
