English writer, author (under the pseudonym H.L. Howard) of Joseph and His Brethren: A Scriptural Drama in Two Acts (1823), a long dramatic poem in the style of the Elizabethan dramatists, which enjoyed an immense vogue among the Pre-Raphaelites (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) and their followers after it was praised first by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and then, in 1875, by Algernon Charles Swinburne, who particularly relished the character of Phraxanor (the woman who attempts to seduce Joseph).
As a young man, Wells was a member of the poet John Keats (Keats, John)'s circle of literary friends. He abandoned a legal career from boredom and ill health, leaving England in 1840 for France. He taught English in Brittany and finally settled in Marseille.
