==Career== [[File:Manmohan Ghose.jpg|thumb|Manhohan Ghose with his daughters Mrinalini and Latika.]] He was educated at [[Manchester Grammar School|The Manchester Grammar School]] (1881β84), St Paul's school in [[London]] (1884β87) and won an open scholarship to Christ Church, [[Oxford]]. His work was published in ''Primavera:Poems by Four Authors'' (1890), with [[Laurence Binyon]], [[Arthur S. Cripps]], and [[Stephen Phillips]]. Ghose later met [[Oscar Wilde]] at the Fitzroy Street Settlement, who reviewed Primavera in Pall Mall Gazette, with particular favour towards Ghose. During this time in London Ghose met many other members of the "[[Rhymers' Club]]" set such as [[Lionel Johnson]], [[Ernest Dowson]], who were both very fond of him. In 1893, after his father's death, Ghose returned to India and took a series of teaching posts at [[Patna]], Bankipur, and [[Calcutta]]. In 1897, he was appointed assistant professor of Dacca College. After the death of his wife Malati Banerjee in 1918, his health deteriorated and he aged prematurely. For 30 years Ghose had cherished the dream of returning to [[England]] and even booked a passage along with his daughter in March 1924, but after a short illness on 4 January 1924 he died in Calcutta. His daughter left for London and met [[Laurence Binyon]], who helped her edit ''Songs of love and death'', which was published in 1926.
