Skelton first made Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s acquaintance in 1859 when he was in London on legal business. They would walk, dine, play cards, and read poetry together. Skelton encouraged him to publish his poems and in 1870 was one of the cohort of friendly voices enlisted by DGR to review his Poems. DGR was less than satisfied with Skelton’s ‘inane’ article.
