	James Thomson
		Beatrix Trotter, the mother of the poet, was daughter and co-heiress of a small portion of land at Foggo in Berwickshire, and is described as having been a woman of "a singular fervour of imagination," at the same time that she shone in the domestic and social virtues.
		James re-commenced his studies, and with some reluctance was induced by his friends to enter upon a course of divinity, with the view of applying his talents to the church.
		Thomson congratulated himself upon this work as the noblest effort of his mind; but it was received with coldness by the public, and has never been so generally read as the rest of his compositions.

	Landscapes "Dynamically in Motion": Revisiting Issues of Structure and Agency in Thomson's The Seasons Papers ...
		The Seasons is a poem that, in its framing apparatus and in numerous passages of the text itself, declares itself to be engaging with the contemporary political scene.
		James Thomson is an example of a poet of the first half of the eighteenth century who did look for organizing motifs by which to arrange his writing but who found those structural devices within nature itself.
		The consequence of Thomson's linguistic and structural choices is that the landscapes depicted in the poem become energized by the same movement.

	The Pen of Thomson
		James Thomson's most ambitious, popular and durable work was the epic blank-verse poem, The Seasons, published in four episodes between 1726 and 1730, and frequently revised by the poet until 1741.
		Unlike his urbane and witty British contemporary, Alexander Pope (1688-1744), Thomson focused his poetic vision on rural scenes, from mountains to plains, from the Arctic to the Tropics, as the seasons reflect the pulse of Nature, of which humans are portrayed as patient and dutifully worshipful observers.
		Thomson's poem reflected three aspects of the new popular attitude toward wilderness that emerged during the eighteenth century.

		His collected poetry was published as ''The Seasons'' in 1730, addressed to George Lyttelton, and he became tutor to the son of Sir Charles Talbot, then Solicitor-General.
		He also wrote several plays, including ''The Tragedy of Sophonisba'' (1734) and collaborated with Mallet on the masque, ''Alfred'', which contained the song, " Rule Britannia ", and was first performed at Cliveden, the country home of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
		After Talbot's death, however, Thomson fell out of favour with the prince, and his career ended with '' The Castle of Indolence '', his best-known work, which was published just before his own death.

		Scottish poet and dramatist, and one of the best-known members of the Graveyard School poets (fondly known around LitGothic as "the boneyard boys" — most were indeed male), friend and supporter of William Collins and rather well-connected member of the early C18 London literati.
