He became a fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, in 1842 and taught there until 1848, the same year that his first major poem, The Bothie, was published. From 1848 until 1851 he was head of University Hall, a collegiate residence for students attending lectures at University College London, and in 1850 he was appointed professor of English language and literature at University College, andhe later becme an examiner in the Education Office.
