Abstract

This article is the edited text of a talk given at the BSHM weekend on Mathematics and Fiction held at Rewley House, Oxford, in May 2009. Examples of Maxwell's poetry are discussed in the context of a biographical sketch. It is argued that not only was Maxwell a very good poet, but that his poetry enriches our view of his life and its intellectual context.
