**HAYDON**, the fourth of Peters' persona books to be published by Unicorn, is a series of monologues by Benjamin Robert Haydon (1776-1846), the tragic British painter of vast history pictures and friend of Keats, Wordsworth, the Carlyles, and the Brownings. His confidence in his talent and his struggles against the Academicians led to such poverty that Haydon saw his suicide as the only way of keeping his large family from starvation. His death stimulated donations of money for his family. There are signs that Haydon's pictures may at last garner the respect they have long deserved.
