Thomson, James 

Born Sept. 11, 1700, in Ednam, Roxburghshire; died Aug. 27,1748, in Richmond. English poet.

Thomson’s poem The Seasons (parts 1–4,1726–30) was one of the first works to express sentimentalist moods. It had a great influence on European, including Russian, literature. Thomson also wrote classical tragedies, the allegorical poem The Castle of Indolence (1748), and the lyric “Rule, Britannia.”
