Oxford, where he had gained a scholarship. Two years later he won the See also:chancellor's See also:prize for Latin See also:verse. In 1789 he published, in a small See also:quarto See also:volume, Fourteen Sonnets, which met with considerable favour at the time, and were hailed with delight by See also:Coleridge and his See also:young contemporaries. The Sonnets even in See also:form were a revival, a return to the older and purer poetic See also:style, and by their See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace of expression, melodious versification, See also:tender See also:tone of feeling and vivid appreciation of the See also:life and beauty of nature, stood out in strong contrast to the elaborated commonplaces which at that time formed the bulk of English See also:poetry. After taking his degree at Oxford he entered the See also:- CHURCH

In 1797 he received the vicarage of Dumbleton in See also:Gloucestershire, and in 1804 was presented to the vicarage of Bremhill in Wiltshire. In the same See also:year he was collated by See also:Bishop See also:Douglas to a prebendal See also:- STALL (0. Eng. steall, stael, cf. Du. stal, Ger. and Swed.

The longer poems published by Bowles are not of a very high See also:standard, though all are distinguished by purity of See also:imagination, cultured and graceful diction, and See also:great tenderness of feeling.
The most extensive were The Spirit of See also:Discovery (1804), which was mercilessly ridiculed by See also:Byron; The Missionary of the See also:Andes (1815); The See also:Grave of the Last Saxon (1822); and St See also:John in See also:Patmos (1833). Bowles is perhaps more celebrated as a critic of poetry than as a poet. In 1806 he published an edition of See also:Pope's See also:works with notes and an See also:essay on the poetical See also:character of Pope. In this essay he laid down certain canons as to poetic imagery which, subject to some modification, have been since recognized as true and valuable, but which were received at the time with strong opposition by all admirers of Pope and his style. The " Pope and Bowles " controversy brought into See also:sharp contrast the opposing views of poetry, which may be roughly described as the natural and the artificial. Bowles maintained that images See also:drawn from nature are poetically finer than those drawn from See also:art; and that in the highest kinds of poetry the themes or passions handled should be of the See also:general or elemental See also:kind, and not the transient See also:manners of any society. These positions were vigorously assailed by Byron, See also:- CAMPBELL, ALEXANDER (1788–1866)

Campbell, See also:Roscoe and others of less See also:note, while for a time Bowles was almost solitary. See also:Hazlitt and the See also:Blackwood critics, however, came to his assistance, and on the whole Bowles had See also:reason to congratulate himself on having established certain principles which might serve as the basis of a true method of poetical See also:criticism, and of having inaugurated, both by See also:precept and by example, a new era in English poetry. Among other See also:prose works from his prolific See also:pen was a Life of Bishop See also:Ken (2 vols., 1830–1831).
His Poetical Works were collected in 1855, with a memoir by G. See also:Gilfillan.
