Goldsmith, Oliver From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Oliver Cromwell) Next (Oliver Hazard Perry) Oliver Goldsmith Oliver Goldsmith (November 10, 1730? – April 4, 1774) was an Anglo-Irish author and one of the most versatile English writers of the eighteenth century. Goldsmith wrote poetry , plays, essays, fiction, journalism, histories, biographies, and more. Although a good portion of Goldsmith's vast oeuvre is considered uneven by today's standards, a sizeable handful of his works in various genres are considered eighteenth-century classics, including his novel The Vicar of Wakefield , his pastoral poem “The Deserted Village,” his collection of semi-fictional essays Citizen of the World , and his popular comic play, She Stoops To Conquer . His play and novel deal with typical eighteenth-century themes of social class and position, and wealth and poverty. In his novel, the vicar's life seems patterned on the Book of Job, as everything is taken away from him only to be restored at the end. The eighteenth century was the century of sentimentalism, which is based on a view of the innate goodness of people who find themselves at odds with a sometimes "sinful" world. Goldsmith was a contemporary and confidant of Dr. Johnson

Oliver Goldsmith (1728-74) Mollusks, insects, and fish from Goldsmith's Animated Nature O liver Goldsmith's An History of the Earth and Animated Nature has been described as everything from "hackwork" to his "most substantial literary legacy" (Wardle, 1957). The first edition (in eight volumes) appeared in London in 1774. The work sought to draw together virtually all that was known about the planet earth, its plants and animals, and even its human inhabitants described from a biological perspective. Although Goldsmith drew almost all of his information from the work of other naturalists, he set out with a very Romantic goal in mind. He had first planned to translate Pliny's Natural History and then, after reading Buffon , he decided that "the best imitation of the ancients was to write from our own feelings and to imitate nature." The linking of emotion and mimetic imitation to the natural world echoed precisely the claims poets would be making for the next century. Goldsmith's Animated Nature went through over twenty editions into the Victorian era; though it can be criticized on technical grounds, the work became the source of what countless individuals in the English-speaking world knew about the natural world around them. Goldsmith wrote with clarity and precision; for example, he admitted one of the most common confusions in natural history of the period in his discussion of the "border" between plants and animals:

Goldsmith, Oliver From Enlightenment Revolution Jump to: navigation search Goldsmith, Oliver (1730?-1774): Anglo-Irish, Writer. Oliver Goldsmith is best known for his philosophical romance The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), his polemical elegy “The Deserted Village” (1770), and his comedy She Stoops to Conquer (1773). Son of an Anglo-Irish priest, Goldsmith attended Trinity College, Dublin as a sizar and took his B.A. in 1749. After unsuccessfully seeking ordination in the Church of Ireland, Goldsmith studied medicine at the Universities of Edinburgh and Leiden, knocked about Europe, arrived in London in 1756, and meagerly supported himself there as a physician, school-usher, and hack writer. Whether he ever actually received a foreign medical degree during his travels, he was generally known as Dr., after the publication of his first major literary work, An Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe Having met Johnson, Samuel in 1761, Goldsmith became one of the original members of Johnson’s “Club.” Like Johnson, Goldsmith wrote in almost every imaginable genre: poetry, drama, fiction, essay, history, biography, and natural science. Although his writingsparticularly his poems, “The Traveller” (1764) and the “The Deserted Village,” and his comedies, The Good-Natured Man (1768) and She Stoops to Conquer eventually earned him a considerable amount of money, his extravagance, imprudence, and generosity impoverished him, and he died deeply in debt in 1774.

April 4, 1774, London), English essayist, poet, novelist, dramatist, and eccentric, made famous by such works as the series of essays The Citizen of the World, or, Letters from a Chinese Philosopher (1762), the poem The Deserted Village (1770), the novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and the play She Stoops to Conquer Life Goldsmith's rise from total obscurity was a matter of only a few years. He worked as an apothecary's assistant, school usher, physician, and as a hack writerreviewing, translating, and compiling. It remains amazing that this young Irish vagabond, unknown, uncouth, unlearned, and unreliable, was yet able within a few years to climb from obscurity to mix with aristocrats and the intellectual elite of London. Such a rise was possible because Goldsmith had one quality, soon noticed by booksellers and the public, that his fellow literary hacks did not possessthe gift of a graceful, lively, and readable style. His rise began with the Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe (1759), a minor work. Soon he emerged as an essayist, in

GOLDSMITH, OLIVER (1728-1774). �Poet, dramatist, and essayist, s. of an Irish clergyman, was b. at Pallasmore in Co. Longford. His early education was received at various schools at Elphin, Athlone, and Edgeworthstown. At the age of 8 he had a severe attack of smallpox which disfigured him for life. In 1744 he went to Trinity Coll., Dublin, whence, having come into collision with one of the coll. tutors, he ran away in 1746. He was, however, induced to return, and grad. in 1749. The Church was chosen for him as a profession�against his will be it said in justice to him. He presented himself before the Bishop of Elphin for examination�perhaps as a type of deeper and more inward incongruencies�in scarlet breeches, and was rejected. He next figured as a tutor; but had no sooner accumulated �30 than he quitted his employment and forthwith dissipated his little savings. A long-suffering uncle named Contarine, who had already more than once interposed on his behalf, now provided means to send him to London to study law. He, however, got no farther than Dublin, where he was fleeced to his last guinea, and returned to the house of his mother, now a widow with a large family. After an interval spent in idleness, a medical career was perceived to be the likeliest opening, and in 1752 he steered for Edin., where he remained on the usual happy-go-lucky terms until 1754, when he proceeded to Leyden. After a year there he started on a walking tour, which led him through France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. How he lived it is hard to say, for he left Leyden penniless. It is said that he disputed at Univ., and played the flute, and thus kept himself in existence. All this time, however, he was gaining the experiences and knowledge of foreign countries which he was afterwards to turn to such excellent account. At one of the Univ. visited at this time, he is believed to have secured the medical degree, of which he subsequently made use. Louvain and Padua have both been named as the source of it. He reached London almost literally penniless in 1756, and appears to have been occupied successively as an apothecary's journeyman, a doctor of the poor, and an usher in a school at Peckham. In 1757 he was writing for the
