- Bridges, Robert (Seymour)
-
born Oct. 23, 1844, Walmer, Kent, Eng.
died April 21, 1930, Boar's Hill, Oxford
English poet.
He published several long poems and poetic dramas, but his reputation rests on the lyrics collected in
Shorter Poems (1890, 1894), which reveal his mastery of prosody. His 1916 edition of the poetry of his friend
Gerard Manley Hopkins rescued it from obscurity. He was poet laureate of England from 1913 until his death.
