Thomas Miller (poet)
Thomas Miller (31 August 1807 – 24 October 1874) was a poet and novelist who explored rural subjects.
==Early life==
Miller was born in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire,〔Plaque erected near his birthplace.〕 the son of George Miller, an unsuccessful wharfinger and ship-owner who deserted his wife and two sons in 1810. Thomas grew up in Sailors Alley, and one of his childhood friends was the future poet and journalist Thomas Cooper. He attended the White Hart Charity School. Although he left school at nine, he became a voracious reader. His love of the countryside was reinforced by summers spent on his grandfather's farm.〔ODNB entry by Louis James: (Retrieved 23 June 2012. Pay-walled. )〕
Miller found work as a ploughboy, then as a shoemaker’s apprentice, but was released from his indentures when he threw "an iron instrument" at his vicious and tyrannical master. He was then apprenticed as a basket-maker to his stepfather, and when he had done his time, moved to Nottingham in 1831 to set up his own basket-making business.〔Beckwith, Ian S.: ''The Book of Gainsborough'' (1988). ISBN 0860232697.〕 There he published his own first writings ''Songs of the Sea Nymphs'' (1832), which he dedicated to Lady Blessington.〔ODNB entry.〕
