BLOOMFIELD, ROBERT (1766-1823)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 86 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BLOOMFIELD, ROBERT (1766-1823) ,
English
  poet, was born of humble parents at the
village
  of Honington,
Suffolk
 , on the 3rd of December 1766. He was apprenticed at the age of eleven to a farmer, but he was too small and frail for field labour, and four years later he came to London to
work
  for a shoemaker. The poem that made his reputation, The Farmer's Boy, was written in a garret in Bell Alley. The
manuscript
 , declined by several publishers,
fell
  into the hands of Capell Lofft, who arranged for its publication with woodcuts by
Bewick
  in 1800. The success of the poem was remarkable, over 25,000 copies being sold in the next two years. His reputation was increased by the
appearance
  of his Rural Tales (1802), News from the Farm (1804), Wild
Flowers
  (18o6) and The Banks of the Wye (1811). Influential friends attempted to provide for Bloomfield, but ill-
health
  and possibly faults of temperament prevented the success of these efforts, and the poet died in poverty at Shefford, Bedfordshire, on the 19th of August 1823. His Remains in Poetry and Verse appeared in 1824.
