Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z Mark Akenside Biography Mark Akenside (November 9, 1721 - June 23, 1770), was an English poet and physician. Akenside was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the son of a butcher; he was slightly lame all his life from a wound he received as a child from his father's cleaver. All his relations were dissenters, and, after attending the free school of Newcastle, and a dissenting academy in the town, he was sent (1739) to Edinburgh to study theology with a view to becoming a minister, his expenses being paid from a special fund set aside by the dissenting community for the education of their pastors. He had already contributed The Virtuoso, in imitation of Spenser's style and stanza (1737) to the Gentleman's Magazine, and in 1738 A British Philippic, occasioned by the Insults of the Spaniards, and the present Preparations for War (also published separately). After one winter as a theology student, he changed to medicine. He repaid the money that had been advanced for his theological studies, and became a deist. His politics, said Dr Johnson, were characterized by an "impetuous eagerness to subvert and confound, with very little care what shall be established," and he is caricatured in the republican doctor of Tobias Smollett's Peregrine Pickle. He was elected a member of the Medical Society of Edinburgh in 1740. His ambitions already lay outside his profession, and his gifts as a speaker made him hope one day to enter parliament. In 1740 he printed his "Ode on the Winter Solstice" in a small volume of poems. In 1741 he left Edinburgh for Newcastle and began to call himself surgeon, though it is doubtful whether he practised, and from the next year dates his life-long friendship with Jeremiah Dyson (1722-1776).

7. James Dix, Poet's Corner In Germany Akenside, Mark Allston, Washington (An American) Burns, Robert (A Scotchman) Baillie, Joanna Barnard, Lady (A Scotchwoman) Barret Bayly, Thomas Haynes http://www.english.ucsb.edu/faculty/rraley/research/anthologies/Dix.html

James Dix, Poets' Corner in Germany . (Leipzig: Heinrich Matthes, 1869) Information about the collection: The frontispiece is a colored print of a vase of flowers and the epigraph to the volume is the Shakespearean passage on the poet's pen giving the "forms of things unknown" "a local habitation and a name." The TOC lists dates of birth and death and each poets is listed with 1-2 descriptive sentences (often just phrases), either of a biographical or critical quality. Because there is only about 1-4 poems for each author (the average seems to be about 3, with quite a few with 5, and 9 for Shakespeare), it seems still to be classifiable as a miscellany, but the distinctions seem less clear as the 19th century progresses. Preface: Everybody who has visited London, or who has read of London, must recollect a small place in Westminster Abbey, called Poets' Corner. This place though insignificant in itself in appearance, is nevertheless of great importance, it being the same in character, as the Walhalla of Germany. Acting upon the all impressive feeling of preserving some remembrance of the great authors of England and America both living and dead, induced me to adopt this title for my compilation, and I hope and trust, that my labour has not been in vain. Every care has been taken to render the work as complete as possible and my sincere wish is, that Poets' Corner may find a place in the library of every lover of English Poetry in the Fatherland.

Akenside, Mark From Enlightenment Revolution Jump to: navigation search Akenside, Mark (1721-70). English Poet. Mark Akenside, poet and physician, was the son of a butcher at Newcastle on Tyne and studied medicine at the Universities of Edinburgh and Leiden, later receiving a doctorate from Cambridge (1753). A fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal College of Physicians, he became Harleian Orator at the Royal College of Physicians in 1759, principal physician at St. Thomas’s Hospital in 1760, and one of the Queen’s physicians in 1761. His chief poetic work, The Pleasures of Imagination (1744), is a philosophical blank-verse discourse in three books on what would later come to be called “aesthetics.” In this poem, a substantial reworking of which remained unfinished at his death, Akenside combined an earnest classicism with celebration of the imagination – the power of discerning resemblances between present objects of perception and remembered ideas. Akenside closely associates beauty, truth, and goodness and in an exploration of the problem of evil, describes ridicule as a test of truth. Akenside also wrote a variety of metrically diverse lyric poems, including Odes on Several Subjects (1745, rev. 1760), as well as political and satiric poems. His friend and patron, Jeremiah Dyson, published a posthumous collection of Akenside’s poetry, including fragments of the revision of

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Akenside, Mark (b. Nov. 9, 1721, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, Eng.d. June 23, 1770, London), poet and physician, best known for his poem The Pleasures of Imagination, an eclectic philosophical essay that takes as its starting point papers on the same subject written by Joseph Addison for The Spectator. Written in blank verse derived from Milton's, it was modelled (as its preface states) on the Roman poets Virgil (the Georgics ) and Horace (the Epistles ). A debt to Virgil is certainly apparent in the way in which Akenside invests an essentially unpoetic subjectthe abstractions of philosophic thoughtwith poetic form, through studied elevation of language and with considerable grace. The influence of Horace is clear in the skillfully handled transitions from one theme to another and the tact with which the entire subject is treated. Later adopting the ode as his favourite poetic form, Akenside was more than willing to consider himself the English Pindar, one of several aspects of his character that was satirized in Tobias Smollett's novel The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle
