 Thomas Warton (Poet) - LoveToKnow 1911
Most of Warton's poetry, humorous and serious - and the humorous mock-heroic was better within his powers than serious verse - was written before the age of twenty-three, when he took his M.A. degree and became a fellow of his college (Trinity, Oxford).
Warton's poems were first collected in 1777, and he was engaged at the time of his death on a corrected edition, which appeared in 1791, with a memoir by his friend and admirer, Richard Mant.
Warton directed the attention of readers to early English literature, and, in view of the want of texts, rendered inestimable service by transcribing large extracts from early writers.

 Warton, Thomas Criticism and Essays

Warton was born on January 9, 1728, in Basingstoke, Hampshire, to Thomas Warton, the Elder, a poet and schoolmaster, and his wife, Elizabeth Richardson Warton.
Warton is believed to be the first to look at a work in relation to its time, cultural influences, and earlier literature.

 Thomas Warton   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Thomas Warton is in his poetry chiefly imitative, as was natural in so laborious a student of our early poetical literature.
The Pleasures of Melancholy is a cento of Il Penseroso, Comus, and The Faerie Queene; the Ode on the Approach of Summer is a mere echo of L'Allegro.
The real Warton is to be looked for in the writings in which these passions find their vent; in the History, in the Sonnets (a form of composition which he revived among us), and in the Humorous Pieces; not in the "quit-rent odes" which were wrung from him by the unhappy necessities of his laureateship.

Most of Warton's poetry, humorous and serious -- and the humorous mock-heroic was better within his powers than serious verse -- was written before the age of twenty-three, when he took his M.A. degree and became a fellow of his college (Trinity, Oxford).
A work of such enormous labor and research could proceed but slowly, and it was no wonder that Warton flagged in the execution of it, and stopped to refresh himself with annotating (1785) the minor poems of Milton, pouring out in this delightful work the accumulated suggestions of forty years.
