词条 | Bloomfield, Robert |
释义 | Bloomfield, Robert English poet born Dec. 3, 1766, Honington, Suffolk, Eng. died Aug. 19, 1823, Shefford, Bedfordshire ![]() Born in rural Suffolk but thought too frail to work on the land, Bloomfield was sent to London at age 15 to be apprenticed to a shoemaker. His poem The Farmer's Boy (1800), written in couplets, owed its popularity to its blend of late 18th-century pastoralism with an early Romantic feeling for nature. The works that followed, from Rural Tales, Ballads, and Songs (1802) to The Banks of Wye (1811), were also successful, though his vogue later passed. Additional Reading William Wickett and Nicholas Duval, The Farmer's Boy (1971). |
