His work has been re-published many times and in many languages; occasional &#8216;lost&#8217; poems have been found over the years, and we have frequently featured contemporary writers who have been inspired by Hope Hodgson, drawn directly on his themes, or produced skillful pastiches to expand his worlds.<\/p>\n<p>As this is the 17th April, and thus the anniversary of the day he fell during a bombardment, we&#8217;re not going to drift into lengthy commentary here. Over the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll be running a number of Hope Hodgson pieces on <em>greydogtales.com<\/em>, but today we simply remember him. This edited entry from <em>Great War Lives Lost<\/em> summarises the man:<\/p>\n<p><em>Wednesday 17th April 1918<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Lieutenant William Hope Hodgson (Royal Field Artillery) is killed by a mortar shell at age 40. He is the son of the late Reverend Samuel Hodgson and is a&#8230; writer and author. He produced a large body of work, consisting mostly of short stories and novels, spanning several overlapping genres including horror, fantastic fiction and science fiction. Early in his writing career he dedicated effort to poetry, although few of his poems were published during his lifetime. He also attracted some notice as a photographer. Born 15th November 1877 in Blackmore End, Essex Hodgson ran away to sea at the age of thirteen and eventually served in the Merchant Marine. In 1898 he was awarded the Royal Humane Society medal for saving another sailor who had fallen overboard in shark-infested waters After a bodybuilding business venture failed he decided to support himself by writing. Two of his most noted works, \u201cThe Voice in the Night\u201d and \u201cThe Boats of the Glen Carrig\u201d, are based on his experiences at sea, and much of his work is set aboard ships or features seafaring characters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5030\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/william-hope-hodgson-hundred-years-passed\/awhh-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?fit=744%2C1122&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"744,1122\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"awhh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?fit=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?fit=474%2C715&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" wp-image-5030 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?resize=302%2C455\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?resize=679%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 679w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/awhh.jpg?w=744&amp;ssl=1 744w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More details of some of the tragic losses on that day and during the war can be found on their website: <a href=\"https:\/\/greatwarliveslost.com\/2018\/04\/16\/wednesday-17-april-1918-we-lost-1292\/\">https:\/\/greatwarliveslost.com\/2018\/04\/16\/wednesday-17-april-1918-we-lost-1292\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From his poem &#8216;Bring Out Your Dead&#8217;:<\/p>\n<p><em>And I, am I guiltless?
