The Seasons (Thomson)
''The Seasons'' is a series of four poems written by the Scottish author James Thomson. The first part, ''Winter'', was published in 1726, and the completed poem cycle appeared in 1730.〔Sambrook, 2004〕
The poem was extremely influential, and stimulated works by John Christopher Smith, Joseph Haydn, Thomas Gainsborough and J. M. W. Turner among many others.〔
==Context==
Thompson was educated at Jedburgh Grammar School and Edinburgh University where he was a member of "The Grotesques" literary club; some of his early poems were published in the Edinburgh Miscellany of 1720. Seeking a larger stage, he went to London in 1725, and became the tutor of Thomas Hamilton (who became the 7th Earl of Haddington) in Barnet. There he was able to begin ''Winter'', the first of his four ''Seasons''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.richmond.gov.uk/local_history_j_thomson.pdf )〕
Blank verse had been considered more of an interesting toy than anything useful to poetry, despite John Milton's epic-scale ''Paradise Lost'' and ''Paradise Regained'' half a century earlier.〔
