James Thomson
James Thomson. *****. James Thomson wrote agroup of four love songs, recounting the reactions of girls to his wooing.
http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/ccc/thomson.html

Extractions: James Thomson was born in Edinburgh on the 10th September 1763, the son of impoverished parents who found the prospect of raising him beyond their means. At the age of four months he was sent to live with his maternal grandparents in Currie where his grandfather was the weaver on Mid Kinleith farm. At six he was sent to the village school, but, after he contracted small-pox, his grandmother was fearful of exposing him to further illness and he was kept at home and taught to read and write by his grandmother and aunt. He was given charge of his grandfather's cow and accompanied the animal each day to its grazing with a copy of the poems of Ramsay tucked under his arm. When he was thirteen he was apprenticed to his grandfather and mastered the techniques of weaving with such skill that it was not long before his grandfather's business which had been very much on the decline started to pick up. He also went back to school to resume his education, but although he read assiduously, he never really mastered the art of neat handwriting, preferring to pen verses to his friends when he should have been practising his orthographical skills. In addition to his weaving, James was sought after in the village for other services: he developed the skill of bleeder; knew how to kill a mart; was at times employed as a forester and on a Saturday evening could be found in the village inn where he trimmed the beards of the locals while they quaffed their ale. He also purchased a violin and learned to play it, entertaining his friends with his music as well as with his verse.

THE JAMES THOMSON POETRY WORKS
Biography and works of the Victorian poet.
http://www.geocities.com/vasthead/Thomson/

Extractions: This page is devoted to James Thomson, a Scottish poet of the Victorian era. The James Thomson Poetry Works is really a web site in the middle of a web site and is a service of The Vasthead. The simple mission of this site is to try to assemble all of Thomson's poems in one place. There are already several poems here that are available nowhere else either on the web or in print. James Thomson lived from 1834 to 1882 . The "B.V." after his name in the above quote is an abbreviation for Thomson's pseudonym. The letters are often used to distinguish him from another James Thomson (the author of "Rule Britannia") who lived from 1700 to 1748. Thomson is best known for his gothic epic, " The City of Dreadful Night ." Inspired by his own struggles in the city of London, the poem portends the horrors and decadence of modern urban life. It is not without reason that Thomson is sometimes called the "poet of doom." Speaking of doom, this web site is gradually placing Thomson's "The Doom of a City" on line. It was an early precursor of "The City of Dreadful Night." As well as I can determine, the material has never appeared on the Internet before and is not currently in print. I am also in the process of completing "Sunday up the River,"

La Urbo De Terura Nokto (William AULD)
De skota poeto James Thomson (18341882), tradukis William Auld
http://donh.best.vwh.net/Esperanto/Literaturo/Revuoj/nlr/nlr21/terura_noktou.htm

Extractions: Enkomputiligis Don HARLOW La urbo de terura nokto de William AULD originale aperis en la nica literatura revuo , 2/1 p. 8-17 James Thomson (1834-1882) estas skota poeto, kies reputacio estas samtempe firma kaj malpli universale akceptita, ol Äi meritas. PreskaÅ Äiu antologio enhavas ÄerpaÄµon el lia majstroverko "La Urbo de Terura Nokto", gtamen tre malmultaj poeziamantoj legas Äin tutan. Oni povus eble iom satire pretendi, ke tio per si mem pruvas, ke Äi estas majstroverko. Poemo, por esti eterne valora, por meriti atenton, por pravigi sian ekziston, devas esti nepre unika, t.e., Äi estu neimitebla, aÅ, se oni Äin imitas (kaj fakte oni Äiam vaste imitas la majstroverkojn), Äi estu neatingebla, Äi havu ian unu-fojon-por-Äiam-econ. "La Urbo de Terura Nokto" estas absolute unika, almenaÅ en la kadro de la anglalingva literaturo kaj verÅajne ankaÅ en la mondliteraturo, kvankam kompreneble ne mankas parencanimaj poetoj kiel ekz. Leopardi kaj Baudelaire. Kaj tio, kio Äefe donas al la poemo de Thomson Äian unikan kvaliton, estas samtempe tio, kio malhelpas pli vastan aprecon pri Äi. Äi estas la sola grandioza kerne pesimisma poemo de la angla literaturo. Äi estas pesimisma kaj kontraÅreligia; kaj sekve Äi forpelas legantojn, kiuj postulas nepran optimismon en sia legaÄµo. Al dogmemaj religianoj kompreneble la poemo estas verko severe malaprobinda, peka kontraÅ dio kaj la homa animo. Homoj, kiuj obstine rifuzas rigardi rekte la ombrajn flankojn de la vivo, protestas, ke Äi estas malsana verko de fie nenormala menso. Ke ili malpravas, pri tio Thomson mem donas al ni la Ålosilon: "Ke Äi tiu verko estas vera rilate la aÅtoron, ke Äi estas malfalse, mi ne dubas, Äar la kompatindulo tre kapablis esti malgaja. Sed Äu Äi estas vera rilate la mondon kaj la Äeneralan vivon? Mi opinias, ke Äi estas vera, sed ne la tuta vero. Ekzistas vero de vintro kaj nigra nokto, ekzistas vero de somero kaj hela tagmezo; sur unu flanko de la granda medalo estas stampitaj la gloro kaj triumfo de la vivo, sur la dua flanko estas stampitaj la gloro kaj triumfo de la morto; sed kiu estas la fronto kaj kiu la malfronto, neniu el ni certe scias."

Thomson, James (1700-48). Poet.
James Thomson. James Thomson, author of The Seasons and Rule Britannia ,was born on 11 September 1700 at Ednam (Roxburghshire
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~crumey/james_thomson.html

Extractions: James Thomson, author of "The Seasons" and "Rule Britannia", was born on 11 September 1700 at Ednam (Roxburghshire), where his father was parish minister. An obelisk on Ferney Hill commemorates the poet, who was brought up in the neighbouring parish of Southdean. He studied divinity at Edinburgh University, but left early and went to London to pursue a career as a dramatist; it was as this that he was best known in his lifetime. His many plays include "Sophonisba" (1730) and "Tancred and Sigismunda" (1745). With David Malloch he wrote "The Masque of Alfred" (1740), which includes "Rule Britannia". The music was by Thomas Arne (1710-78). It is for "The Seasons" that Thomson's name is remembered. The poem's sections were first published independently: Winter (1726), Summer (1727), Spring (1728) and Autumn (1730). The complete poem was then published 1730, and it was revised by Thomson on several occasions. It remained popular for well over a century, and is said to have inspired Turner, Wordsworth and Coleridge. Josef Haydn (1732-1809) used a German translation as the text for his oratorio "Die Jahreszeiten" (1801). As late as the end of the nineteenth century it was still the sort of book which might be presented, in a nicely bound edition, as an improving end-of-year prize for a talented school pupil. But Thomson's reputation has diminished, and his style is now generally considered excessively florid and verbose. His other works include "Liberty" (1734-36) and "The Castle of Indolence" (1748).
