Constable, Henry

   Also found in: Hutchinson 0.06 sec.
Constable, Henry (kŏn`stəbəl), 1562–1613, English poet. After graduating from Cambridge in 1580 he went to Paris, where the atmosphere was more congenial for one of Roman Catholic faith. There he wrote Diana (1592), a volume of sonnets. In addition he was the author of four pastorals that appeared in England's Helicon (1600) and Spiritual Sonnets (1815). Constable's work is considered to have had an important influence on the development of the sonnet.

It is not entirely clear whether the increased turnover was due to a real decline in the quality of recruits or to the more demanding standards of the new chief constable, Henry Riches.
