Talk:Frederick Hardman

Joseph or John Harding
His father's name may have been John, not Joseph Harding per Hasen and Pollin: "Hardman, whose dates cannot be accurately established, was a friend of Coleridge and an accomplished literary privateer who seems to have made a living smuggling facsimilies of European originals into British journals. The Dictionary of National Biography entry for his son erroneously identifies him as “Joseph” (8:1231). His son Frederick Hardman (1814–1874) apparently followed in his father’s footsteps, contributing similar pieces and reworking Charles Sealsfield for Blackwood’s."

This cites Pitcher, who also gives the name as John Hardman: However, one article says: "Some indexes list him as John Hardman, though the DNB cites family sources for the name Joseph":

The ODNB article on Frederick still names him as Joseph, probably just taking this from the original DNB. &#8209;&#8209; Yodin T 12:23, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
