WILLIAM (1689-1745) , See also:English See also:scholar and poet, the son of a See also:farmer, was See also:born at Haslington, See also:Cheshire, where he was baptized on the 3rd of May 1689. He was educated at See also:Eton, where he became See also:captain of the school, and at St See also:John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge. He collaborated with John Ozell and William Oldisworth in a See also:translation (1712) of the Iliad from the See also:French version of Madame See also:Dacier, and he contributed in the same See also:year some verses to See also:Lintot's See also:Miscellany. He was introduced to See also:Pope, who was at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time engaged on his translation of the Iliad. Pope asked Broome to make a See also:digest for him of the notes of See also:Eustathius, the 12th-See also:century annotator of See also:Homer. This task Broome executed to Pope's entire See also:satisfaction, refusing any See also:payment. He was See also:rector of Sturston, See also:Norfolk, and his prosperity was further assured by his See also:marriage in 1716 with a See also:rich widow, Mrs See also:Elizabeth See also:- CLARKE, ADAM (1762?—1832)

Clarke. When Pope undertook the translation of the Odyssey, he engaged See also:Elijah See also:Fenton and Broome to assist him. Broome's facility in See also:verse had gained for him at college the See also:nickname of " the poet," and he adapted his See also:style very closely to Pope's.. He translated the 2nd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 12th,16th, 18th and 23rd books, and practically provided all the notes. He was a vain, talkative See also:man, and did not fail to make known his real See also:share in the translation, of which Pope had given a very misleading See also:account in the " proposals " issued to subscribers. He casually mentioned Broome as his coadjutor, as though his assistance was of an entirely subsidiary See also:character. His See also:influence over Broome was so strong that the latter was induced to write a See also:note at the end of the translation minimizing his own share and implicating Fenton, who, moreover, had not wished his name to appear, in the deception. " If my performance," he said, " has merit either in these [the notes] or in any See also:part of the translation, namely the 6th, 11th and 18th books, it is but just to attribute it to the See also:judgment and care of Mr Pope, by whose See also:hand every See also:sheet was corrected." For the Odyssey Pope received £4500, of which Broome, who had provided a third of the See also:text and the notes, received £570. He had hoped to secure fame from his connexion with Pope, and when he found that Pope had no intention of praising him he complained bitterly of being under-paid. Pope thought that Broome's garrulity had caused the reports which were being circulated to his disadvantage, and ungenerously made satirical allusions to him in the Dunciad 1 and the See also:Bathos. After these insults Broome's See also:patience gave way, and there is a See also:gap in his See also:correspondence with Pope, but in 1730 the intercourse was renewed on friendly terms. In 1728 the degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by the university of Cambridge, and he was presented to the rectory of Pulham, Norfolk, and subsequently by See also:Charles, 1st See also:Earl See also:Cornwallis, who had been his friend at Cambridge, to two livings, Oakley Magna in See also:Essex, and See also:Eye in See also:Suffolk. He died at See also:Bath on the 16th of See also:November 1745.
Broome was also the author of some See also:translations from See also:Anacreon printed in the See also:Gentleman's See also:Magazine, and of Poems on Several Occasions (1727). His poems are included in See also:- JOHNSON, ANDREW
