Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Censura Literaria, Vol. 8: Containing Titles, Abstracts, and Opinions of Old English Books, With Original Disquisitions, Articles of Biography, and Other Literary Antiquities James Hurdis was born about 1763; he was a native of Sussex, and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took the degree of A.M. 1787; and obtained a fellowship. In 1788 he published a poem in blank verse entitled The Village Curate; and in 1790 Adriano, or the First of June. These poems immediately brought him into notice; and I heard them spoken of in terms of the warmest praise by an eminent Oxford scholar at the time of their first appearance; while others equally condemned them. They are too much an echo of Cowper; but still they possess considerable merit; and by no means deserve the contemptuous terms, in which Miss Seward has spoken of them in her Memoirs of Darwin. In 1790 he published A short Critical Disquisition on the true meaning of a passage in Genesis, i. 21. In 1793, when he was curate of Burwash in Sussex, he addressed to the inhabitants of that parish Reflections on the Commencement of the New Year. In that year he had the honour of being elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford, against the competition of Mr. Kett.
