THOMAS (1686-174o) , See also:English poet and See also:man of letters, the son of a clergyman, was See also:born at Bridekirk near See also:Carlisle in 1686. After a See also:good preliminary See also:education he went (1701) to See also:Queen's See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, taking his M.A. degree in 1709. He became See also:fellow of his college in the next See also:year, and in
1711 university reader or See also:professor of See also:poetry. He did not take orders, but by a See also:dispensation from the See also:Crown was allowed to retain his fellowship until his See also:marriage in 1726. Tickell's success in literature, as in See also:life, was mainly due to the friendship of See also:Addison, who procured for him (1717) an under-secretaryship of See also:state, to the chagrin of See also:Richard See also:Steele, who thenceforth See also:bore Tickell no See also:goodwill. During the See also:peace negotiations with See also:France Tickell published in 1713 the Prospect of Peace. In 1715 he brought out a See also:translation of the first See also:book of the Iliad contemporaneously with See also:Pope's version. Addison's reported description of Tickell's version as the " best that ever was in any See also:language " roused the anger of Pope, who assumed that Addison himself was the author,' or had at any See also:rate the See also:principal See also:share in the See also:work. Addison gave Tickell instructions to collect his See also:works, which were printed in 1721 under Tickell's editorship. In 1724 Tickell was appointed secretary to the lords justices of See also:Ireland—a See also:post which he retained until his See also:death, which took See also:place at See also:Bath on the 23rd of See also:April 1740.
See also:Kensington Gardens (1722), his longest poem, is inflated and pedantic. It has been said that Tickell's poetic See also:powers were awakened and sustained by his admiration for the See also:person and See also:genius of Addison, and undoubtedly his best work is the sincere and dignified See also:elegy addressed to the See also:earl of See also:Warwick on Addison's death. His ballad of See also:Colin and See also:Mary was See also:long the most popular of his poems. Tickell contributed to the Spectator and the See also:Guardian.
