English divine, 1816-1853, author of five volumes of sermons and an Analysis of Tennyson's In Memoriam

Fishburn and Hughes: "Probably an allusion to the theologian Frederick William Robertson (1816-1853). After his ordination Robertson developed a form of asceticism so severe that it endangered his life. Haunted by innumerable doubts, he clung devoutly to the one principle of the 'unequalled nobleness of the humanity of the Son of God'." (168)
