   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Bowles, William Lisle (1762–1850)

English poet. His Fourteen Sonnets on Picturesque Spots (1789) had a considerable influence on the young Romantic poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey.

His longer poems include The Spirit of Discovery (1804), The Missionary of the Andes (1815), and The Grave of the Last Saxon (1822). In 1806 he published his edition of Alexander Pope's works, with critical notes.

Bowles was born in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, and studied at Oxford. A cleric, he became rector of Bremhill, Wiltshire, and prebendary of Salisbury cathedral.
