SILL, EDWARD ROWLAND (1841-1887)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 107 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SILL, EDWARD ROWLAND (1841-1887) , American poet and educationist, was born at Windsor, Connecticut, on the 29th of April 1841. He graduated at Yale in 1861, as class poet; engaged in business in California; entered the Harvard Divinity School in 1867, but soon left it for a position on the staff of the New
York
  Evening Mail; and after teaching at Wadsworth and Cuyahoga Falls,
Ohio
  (1868-1871), became principal of the Oak-land High School, California. He was professor of English literature at the university of California in 1894-1882. His health was failing, and he returned to Cuyahoga Falls in 1883. He devoted himself to literary
work
 , abundant and largely anonymous, until his death in Cleveland,
Ohio
 , on the 27th of February 1887. Much of his poetry was contributed to the Atlantic Monthly, the Century Magazine, and the Overland Monthly. Many of his graceful
prose
  essays appeared in " The Contributors' Club," and others appeared in the main
body
  of the Atlantic. Among his works are a translation of Rau's Mozart (1868); The Hermitage and Other Poems (1868); The Venus of Milo and Other Poems (1883), a farewell tribute to his California friends; Poems (1887); The Hermitage and Later Poems (1889); Hermione and Other Poems (1900); The
Prose
  of Edward Rowland Sill (1900) ; Poems (1902). He was a modest and charming man, a graceful essayist, a sure critic. His contribution to American poetry is small but of fine quality. His best poems, such as The Venus of Milo, The Fool's Prayer and Opportunity, gave him a high place among the
minor
  poets of America, which might have been higher but for his early death.
See A Memorial volume privately printed by his friends in 1887; and " Biographical Sketch " in The Poetical Works of Edward Rowland Sill (Boston, 1906), edit; d by William Belmont Parker with Mrs Sill's assistance.
