Moore, Clement Clarke

American scholar and author

born July 15, 1779, New York, New York, U.S.

died July 10, 1863, Newport, Rhode Island

American scholar of Hebrew and teacher, now chiefly remembered for the ballad that begins, “ 'Twas the night before Christmas . . . .”

The son of the Reverend Benjamin Moore, a president of Columbia College (later University), young Moore was educated there and had a lifelong interest in church matters. He was professor of Oriental and Greek literature at the General Theological Seminary (1821–50) in New York City.

Moore is said to have composed “A Visit from St. Nicholas” to amuse his children on Christmas 1822, but, unknown to him, a houseguest copied it and gave it to the press. It was first published anonymously in the Troy (New York) Sentinel, December 23, 1823. Moore took credit for the work in 1844 after it appeared in his collection Poems. Doubts regarding the poem's authorship have arisen from time to time, but there is no convincing evidence that it was not Moore's work.
