| | Thomas Edward Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thomas Edward Brown OKW (May 5, 1830- October 29, 1897), British poet, scholar and divine, was born at Douglas, Isle of Man and educated at King William's College. | | | Brown's more important poems are narrative, and written in the Manx dialect, with a free use of pauses, and sometimes with daring irregularity of rhythm. | | | At Clifton Brown remained from September 1863 to July 1892, when he retired--to the great regTet of boys and masters alike, who had long since come to regard "T.E.B.'s" genius, and even his eccentricities, with a peculiar pride--to spend the rest of his days upon. |

| | T.E. Brown Poet Wrote Letters to H. Graham Dakyns 1838 - 1911 Recently Found |
| | After Brown's sudden death in 1897 there was much anxiety among his friends and family about who should have the privilege of publishing his letters, editing his poetry and writing his biography. | | | Brown put great value on his friends Island lore, looking to La Mothe for poetic inspiration (as a perpetual conduit of Manx thought and feeling) while he toiled as a schoolmaster at Clifton. | | | Further correspondence, immediately after the poets death, between Dakyns and Browns daughters and his friends, reveals why Irwin was chosen as editor and how he managed the material. |

| | Original Artwork: Mark Schuler: Thomas Edward Brown |
| | By 1863, Thomas Edward Brown had established himself as a scholar in the eyes of his countrymen. | | | Today, the pwerful works of this native son and celebrated poet of the Isle of Man live on in the proud and rugged spirits of his countrymen. | | | His most important narrative were written in Manx, the Celtic language of his homeland, the Isle of Man. Often his works displayed a daring irregularity of rhythm, but the rugged tenderness and mirth of the poet were always evident in the lines. |

| | p108 Chap 5, Manx Worthies - T.E. Brown |
| | Mr Brown depicts for us a region that has never been depicted before; he shows us men and women different from any men or women that poet or novelist has hitherto shown-but men and won-ien real, full of life, natural in spite of many peculiarities and oddities, strong in spite of many weaknesses. | | | Captain R Brown's mother is said to have been a Stowell of Ballastole, Maughold and his sister, Ann. | | | To compare Brown with even the average run of the distinguished men who are all around us is like trying to compare the Bay of Naples with an English bay or Scotch loch. |

| | The name of Thomas Edward Brown, the poet of the "Little Manx Nation," was known to comparatively few until the time of his death. | | | But it was not Brown's poetry that awakened a general interest in the man. | | | There indeed was the great power of the man. His nature spread itself in so many directions. |

| | A.Word.A.Day -- godwottery |
| | [From the line "A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!" in a poem by Thomas Edward Brown (1830-1897).] | | | Poet T.E. Brown unwittingly helped coin it when he wrote a poem describing his garden filled with all that came to his mind: grotto, pool, ferns, roses, fish, and more. | | | And when he needed a word to rhyme with the line "Rose plot," he came up with "God wot!" He used "wot", an archaic term that's a variant of wit (to know), to mean "God knows!" and it stood out among other contemporary words in the poem. |

| | §2. Occleve. VIII. The English Chaucerians. Vol. 2. The End of the Middle Ages. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21 |
| | We have also a number of shorter poems, from ballades upwards, some of which are datable, and the dating of one of which at about 1446 by Trywhitt, as relating to prince Edward to Lancaster, is the nearest approach to warrant for the extension of the poet’s life to the middle of the century. | | | The inseparable companion in literature of Lydgate is Thomas Occleve or Hoccleve; whether this companionship extended to life we do not know, though they may, perhaps, have had a common friend in Chaucer, whose portrait adorns one of Occleve’s MSS., and of whom he speaks with personal warmth. | | | Prosodically, the chief difference seems to be that Occleve has the actual number of syllables that should be in a verse rather more clearly before him, though he is, perhaps, Lydgate’s inferior in communicating to them anything like poetic rhythm. |

| | Thomas Carew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thomas Carew (pronounced Carey) (1595- 1645?) was an English poet. | | | He was therefore sent to Italy, as a member of Sir Dudley's household, and when the ambassador returned from Venice, he seems to have kept Thomas Carew with him, for he was working as secretary to Carleton, at the Hague, early in 1616. | | | In August 1618 his father died, and Carew entered the service of Edward Herbert, Baron Herbert of Cherbury, in whose train he travelled to France in March 1619, and it is believed that he remained with Herbert until his return to England, at the close of his diplomatic missions, in April 1624. |

| | Charles Wisner Barrell - Oxford vs. Other "Claiments" of the Edwards Shakespearean Honors, 1593 |
| | These are the main reasons why I think it not unreasonable to suggest that the poet Thomas Edwards, who was in touch with contemporary creative writing and obviously knew something of the Blackfriars Theatre group of satirists, was either a direct or collateral descendant of the author of Palamon and Arcite. | | | Whether the Thomas Edwards who wrote the 1593 commentary on Lord Oxford as "Shakespeare" was closely related to this 1624 Hackney resident has not yet been determined. | | | Thomas Edwards of Queen's, according to the Dictionary of National Biography, became in 1618 Rector of Langenhoe, Essex, one of the parishes in Lord Oxford's native county. |

| | Edward de Vere |
| | "If Golding is correct, and if Edward de Vere, in fact, was the nobleman poet-playwright who called himself William Shake-speare, it is truly fitting that he -- the greatest writer who ever lived -- rest in the hallowed ground of England's national church amongst the immortals of English letters" (Wright, "Who Was Edward de Vere?"). | | | Thomas Looney, an English schoolteacher early in the 20th century for whom the Stratford myth seemed worse than unsatisfactory, went back to the start of the logical process. | | | The Countess de Vere remarried shortly after the 16th Earl's death, and no evidence survives that she and her son had any sort of relationship or even interest in one another. |
