Fuller cites Forster's Life of Strafford (and Life of Pym) in Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia three times as footnote sources for historical detail. Fuller both quotes from it (the 'soul's dark cottage' passage, attributed to 'a then living poet' = Edmund Waller, 1686, but Fuller quotes via Forster's Life) and uses it for historical details about Strafford and Pym.
“Both he and Browning seem to have had it brought before their attention by Foster's spirited biography of Strafford.”
Also reprinted in New-York Daily Tribune. Counted once, at its first appearance.
Inferred Fuller refers to 'Foster's spirited biography of Strafford'; this is John Forster's biography of Thomas Wentworth, published in Lives of Eminent British Statesmen (1836). Fuller names 'Foster' and his 'spirited biography of Strafford'.
