Joseph Trapp
Joseph Trapp (1679–1747) was an English clergyman, academic, poet and pamphleteer. His production as a younger man of occasional verse (some anonymous, or in Latin) and dramas led to his appointment as the first Oxford Professor of Poetry in 1708. Later his High Church opinions established him in preferment and position. As a poet he was not well thought of by contemporaries, with Jonathan Swift refusing a dinner in an unavailing attempt to avoid revising one of Trapp’s poems, and Abel Evans making an epigram on his blank verse translation of the Aeneid with a reminder of the commandment against murder.〔:s:Trapp, Joseph (DNB00)〕〔http://wiz2.cath.vt.edu/spenser/CommentRecord.php?action=GET&cmmtid=1693〕
==Early life==
He was born at Cherrington, Gloucestershire, in November 1679, and baptised there on 18 December 1679, was the second son of Joseph Trapp (1638–1698), rector of Cherrington from 1662, and grandson of John Trapp. After a training at home by his father and some time at New College School, he matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford, on 11 July 1695. He was elected Goodridge exhibitioner in 1695 and in subsequent years to 1700, and scholar in 1696. He graduated B. A. 22 April 1699, and M.A. 19 May 1702, and either in 1703 or 1704 he became a fellow of his college.〔
Early in his academic career Trapp began to versify for Oxford collections; and he wrote poetical paraphrases and translations which are included in the ''Miscellanies'' of John Dryden and Elijah Fenton. His play of ''Abramule''〔''Abramule: or Love and Empire. A Tragedy acted at the New Theatre in Little Lincoln's Inn Fields'' (printed without his name in 1704, and often reissued.〕 brought him some reputation. He became the first professor of poetry at Oxford, a position which he held from 14 July 1708 to 1718. His lectures were delivered in Latin and showed originality, for example on ''ut pictura poesis'';〔http://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/view?docId=DicHist/uvaBook/tei/DicHist1.xml;chunk.id=dv4-63〕 but he was thought to have fawned too much on William Lancaster the vice-chancellor.〔〔The first volume of these ''Praelectiones Poeticae'' came out in 1711, the second in 1715, and the third edition is dated 1736. An English translation by the Rev. William Clarke of Buxted and William Bowyer was published 'with additional notes' in 1742.〕
