Joseph Hardman[note 1] (c. 1783 – 3 March 1870) was an English merchant and contributor to Blackwood's Magazine.[2]
Life
Hardman was from Manchester, and was baptised in St Ann's Church on 23 July 1783.[3] He became a merchant based in London, married Frances Anna Rougemont, and together they had a son Frederick Hardman (1814–1874).[4]
Hardman was a neighbour and friend of Samuel Taylor Coleridge in Highgate.[5] In March 1828, Coleridge wrote to Hardman about a new magazine that they had been planning, which eventually became the short-lived London Review (1829) under editor Joseph Blanco White.[6]
He completed a number of translations for Blackwood's Magazine that were, in his own words, "drawn chiefly from German and Danish sources and consisted of romantic and piquant tales, freely altered from the originals and adapted to British taste and feeling."[7] These included "The Robber's Tower", based on Heinrich Clauren's "Das Raubschloß", which may have been a source of inspiration for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" (1840), and "The Headsman", based on Lauritz Kruse's "Das Verhängnis", which might have been read by James Fenimore Cooper before writing his novel The Headsman: The Abbaye des Vignerons (1833).[8]
He died on 3 March 1870 while living at Tudor Place, Richmond Green, and was buried at St Mary's Church, Twickenham.[9]
