Bag om The Poetical Works of Mark Akenside (Esprios Classics)

Mark Akenside (9 November 1721 - 23 June 1770) was an English poet and physician. He was sent in 1739 to the University of Edinburgh to study theology with a view to becoming a minister, his expenses being paid from a special fund set aside by the dissenting community for the education of their pastors. He had already contributed The Virtuoso, in imitation of Spenser''s style and stanza (1737) to the Gentleman''s Magazine, and in 1738 A British Philippic, occasioned by the Insults of the Spaniards, and the present Preparations for War (also published separately). After one winter as a theology student, Akenside changed to medicine as his field of study. He repaid the money that had been advanced for his theological studies, and became a deist.
