An English poet; born at London, July 9, 1775; died May 14, 1818. His first poem, "Ambrosio, or the Monk" (1795), became instantly very popular; a court decree stopped its sale for a time; when its sale was resumed many objectionable passages had been expunged. He next wrote a musical drama, "The Castle Spectre" (1796), long a favorite piece on the stage. He wrote also "Journal of a West-Indian Proprietor", published after his death.
