Charles Armitage Brown
Charles Armitage Brown (14 April 1787 – 5 June 1842) was a very close friend of the poet John Keats, as well as being a friend of artist Joseph Severn, Leigh Hunt, Thomas Jefferson Hogg, Walter Savage Landor and Edward John Trelawny. He was the father of Charles (Carlino) Brown, a pioneer and politician of New Plymouth, New Zealand.
==Early life==
Brown was born in Lambeth (London). He had very little formal education and to a large extent was self-taught.〔McCormick, p. 2.〕 He began a career as a merchant, starting as a clerk at the age of fourteen, earning £40 per year. At eighteen he joined his brother in St. Petersburg, Russia in a fur-trading business where they were to accumulate the sum of £20,000, only to lose most of it in an unwise speculation in bristles. They returned to England almost penniless,〔Stillinger, ''Letters'', p. 2.〕 though Brown capitalized on his Russian experience by writing a comic opera, ''Narensky, or, The Road to Yaroslaf'', which was produced at Drury Lane in January 1814, earning him £300 and free admission for life to this theatre.〔McCormick, p. 7.〕
