About the author

Thomas Warton (1728–1790) was an English literary historian, critic, and poet. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1785.

He is sometimes called "Thomas Warton, the younger" to distinguish him from his father, who had the same name. His most famous poem is The Pleasures of Melancholy, a representative work of the Graveyard poets.
