About this book
Twenty short lives of poets fill this volume of Cassell's National Library, issued in 1889 to complete the edition of Johnson's Lives of the Poets. Gay, Thomson, Young, Gray, Collins and Akenside are among them, and only Edward Young's life is treated at length. The introduction arranges the poets by birth, from Samuel Garth, Charles Montague and William King, born between 1660 and 1663, to Akenside in 1721. The life of William King starts with his birth in London in 1663 and his schooling at Westminster and Christ Church.
