Bloomfield, Robert (1766–1823)

English poet. His first and chief poem, The Farmer's Boy (1800), met with great success. Other works include Rural Tales (1802) and Wild Flowers (1806).

Bloomfield was born in Honington, Suffolk. As a boy he went to London and worked as a shoemaker in extreme poverty. The duke of Grafton obtained him an appointment in the Seal Office and afterwards allowed him a small pension. Yet, despite influential friends, Bloomfield died in poverty.
