'''Ebenezer Jones''' (20 January 1820 – 1860) wrote a good deal of [[poetry]] of very unequal merit, but at his best shows a true poetic vein. He was befriended by [[Robert Browning|Browning]] and [[Christina Rossetti|Rossetti]].

Jones as a poet was influenced by [[Percy Shelley]] and [[Thomas Carlyle]], and wrote in an exaggerated style. ''Studies of Sensation and Event''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jones |url=https://archive.org/details/studiessensatio00jonegoog |first=Ebenezer |title=Studies of Sensation and Event |publisher=Charles Fox |year=1843 |location=England}}</ref> (1843) was a critical failure, though not with [[Bryan Waller Procter]] and [[Richard Hengist Horne]]. Three late poems, "To the Snow," "To Death," and "When the World is Burning", attracted attention.<ref name="DNB"/>
Jones also wrote a short book entitled ''The Land Monopoly: The Suffering and Demoralization Caused by It; and the Justice and Expediency of its Abolition'', published in 1849.
