  Elijah Fenton - LoveToKnow 1911
ELIJAH FENTON (1683-1730), English poet, was born at Shelton near Newcastle-under-Lyme, of an old Staffordshire family, on the 25th of May 1683.
Fenton is remembered as the coadjutor of Alexander Pope in his translation of the Odyssey.
Fenton also published Oxford and Cambridge Miscellany Poems (1707); Miscellaneous Poems (1717); Mariamne, a tragedy (1723); an edition (1725) of Milton's poems, and one of Waller (1729) with elaborate notes.

 Dana Gioia Online - James Fenton
Fenton's family moved twice during his childhood, first to Yorkshire and later to Lichfield, Staffordshire, the town which would provide the sinister background for his poem "A Staffordshire Murderer." At the age of nine Fenton was sent to a musical preparatory school attached to the Durham cathedral, where he was a chorister.
Based on Fenton's observations in Berlin and Urbino, the poem is an oblique narrative describing a visit to a German cemetery aboard "the Widow's Shuttle," a special bus, to attend a memorial service for the war dead and the painful meditations this excursion elicits.
Fenton's disappointment, however, was undoubtedly softened by his receipt of the 1984 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize on the eve of the election.

Fenton's profits are said to have amounted to near a thousand pounds, with which he discharged a debt contracted by his attendance at Court.
Fenton was one day in the company of Broome his associate, and Ford a clergyman, at that time too well known, whose abilities, instead of furnishing convivial merriment to the voluptuous and dissolute, might have enabled him to excel among the virtuous and the wise.
Fenton was tall and bulky, inclined to corpulence, which he did not lessen by much exercise; for he was very sluggish and sedentary, rose late, and when he had risen sat down to his book or papers.

Fenton had not much idea what Elijah did for the past year besides dabbling with shares and making some money when everyone was losing their fortunes and even families.
Elijah was too happy to ask Isaiah anything else about the past and, moreover, Isaiah had run out of lies and he had forgotten a huge chunk of the stories he spun.
Elijah had drawn pictures of flowers, violins and angels but they were all colored fl- like shadows of beauty from a mind that knew only the night.

As it is, the other two poems set men on the recovery of one of the greatest instruments of English versification; and, if he was the author of the “Bacchanalian song” printed with them, he gave some hints to the latest, and almost the best, of our practitioners in that cheerful kind—Thomas Love Peacock.
Why Pope, in commiserating his own “ten whole years” of collaborative translation, should have been more unkind to William Broome than to Elijah Fenton, when both were his collaborators, has not, I believe, been discovered: for jealousy of superior scholarship, the commonly imputed cause, would have applied to both.
He seems to have been a special admirer and follower of Dryden’s lyrical work, which he was even unwise enough sometimes to refashion, and he has succeeded in catching something, if not much, of that touch of the older magic which Dryden’s lyre could give forth.
