Shanly (Shanley), Charles Journalist, Editor, Essayist, Poet, Illustrator, Playwright. Charles Dawson Shanly emigrated to New York City from Ireland via Canada and was working as the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Public Works in 1857.  In New York City during the late 1850s and 1860s, Shanly was productive as a journalist and editor at such publications as &lt;cite&gt;Vanity Fair&lt;/cite&gt;, &lt;cite&gt;Mrs. Grundy&lt;/cite&gt;, the &lt;cite&gt;New York Leader&lt;/cite&gt;, the &lt;cite&gt;Atlantic Monthly&lt;/cite&gt;, and the &lt;I&gt;New York Saturday Press&lt;/i&gt;. An artist and poet as well as a journalist, Shanly garnered limited but not negligible notoriety with his publications &lt;cite&gt;A Jolly Bear and his Friends&lt;/cite&gt; and &lt;cite&gt;The Monkey of Porto Bello&lt;/cite&gt; (both 1866).  He also may have written a burlesque, &lt;cite&gt;Cinderella&lt;/cite&gt;, that debuted at the Winter Garden on September 9, 1861 (Odell 7:389).

Junius Browne contends that Shanly was part of the &amp;quot;fraternity&amp;quot; that met at Pfaff&amp;rsquo;s restaurant, that &amp;quot;had late suppers, and were brilliant with talk over beer and pipes for several years.&amp;quot; Browne claims &amp;quot;Those were merry and famous nights, and many bright conceits and witticisms were discharged over the festive board&amp;quot; (156-7).  William Winter describes Shanly as &amp;quot;a charming essayist and graceful poet, quaint in character, sweet in temperament, modest and gentle in bearing&amp;quot; (&lt;I&gt;Old Friends&lt;/i&gt; 64-65).  He goes on to say that Shanly was &amp;quot;a much loved companion . . . modest, silent, patient, reticent--everything that is meant by the name of gentleman” (94-95).

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/article&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;list-group-item-text&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;views-field views-field-field-mention-note&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-content&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is listed by Winter as one of the Bohemians who frequented Pfaff&#039;s Cave (88).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Winter comments on Shanly&#039;s talent: &quot;His poems called &#039;The Briar Wood Pipe&#039; and &#039;Rifleman, Shoot Me a Fancy Shot&#039; ought to long preserve his memory, and perhaps they will.To him it was a matter of indifference.I have never known a writer who was so abolutely careless of literary reputation: indeed, it was not until we had been acquainted for several months that I learned that he had written anything&quot; (94-95).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Winter claims that Shanly never discussed his writings with him until Shanly was preparing to leave New York for Florida in 1875.During this conversation, Shanly asked Winter to be his &quot;literary executor&quot; in the event a publisher ever wanted to publish his works.Shanly died in Florida, April 14, 1875 (95). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to Howells&#039; criticisms of the Bohemians and in a discussion of their writing, Winter states: &quot;Revelry requires money: at the time Mr. Howells met those Bohemians, -- with the &#039;damp locks&#039; and the &#039;frenzied eyes,&#039; -- it is probably that the group did not possess enough money among them all to buy a quart bottle of champagne.Furthermore, they were writers of remarkable quality, and they were under the stringent necessity of working continually and very hard: and it seems pertinent to suggest that such a poem, for instance, as George Arnold&#039;s &#039;Old Pedagogue,&#039; or Fitz-James O&#039;Brien&#039;s Ode in commemoration of Kane, or Charles Dawson Shanly&#039;s &#039;Walker of the Snow,&#039; is not to be produced from under the stimulation of alcohol.Literature is a matter of brains, not drugs.It would be equally just and sensible for American criticism to cherish American literature, and to cease from carping about the infirmities, whether actual or putative, of persons dead and gone, who can no longer defend themselves&quot; (93).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of the poets associated with the Bohemian period, Winter states that Shanly&#039;s name is one among a list of &quot;names that shine, with more or less lustre, in the scroll of American poets, and recurrence to their period affords opportunity for correction of errors concerning it, which have been conspicuously made&quot; (292).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C.D. Shanly is listed as one of the &quot;friendly contributors&quot; to the &quot;Saturday Press,&quot; who &quot;were glad to furnish articles for nothing, being friendly toward the establishment of an absolutely independent critical paper, a thing practically unknown in those days&quot; (294-295).&lt;/p&gt;
