Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cabinet Cyclopædia, Vol. 1: Conducted by the Rev. Dionysius Lardner, LL. D. F. R. S. L.& E. M. R. I. A. F. R. A. S. F. L. S. F. Z. S. Hon. F. C. P. S. &C. &C., Assisted by Eminent Literary and Scientific Men Of his boyhood very little is known. The place of his birth is determined by a Latin inscription appended to a portrait of him, published during his lifetime with a complete edition of his works; but at what time he went to London, or under what circumstances, has not been ascertained. At an early age he discovered a strong passion for literary pursuits, and is said to have made such an impression upon his instructors by the sweetness of his temper, as to be recommended while he was yet but ten years old to the patronage of some people of distinction. About 1573 he was taken into the household of a person of honour in the capacity of page, which is probable enough, as in his later years he appears to have subsisted chiefly on the favour of the great. He could then construe Latin, and was above all things ambitious to become a poet. Who his first patron was is a matter of conjecture: his name is lost in the common oblivion that has fallen upon nearly all the personal literary history of the time. But to the generosity of that patron, whoever he was, it is likely Drayton was indebted for an university education.
