Markham, Gervase (or Jervis) (1568–1637)

English poet, translator, and writer. Among his works are a continuation of Philip Sidney's Arcadia, a poem on the death in a naval battle of Richard Granville, The Discourse of Horsemanshippe (1593), Cavelarice, or the English Horseman (1607), Country Contentments (1615), A Way to Get Wealth (1623), various books on agriculture, and some plays.

Markham was born in Cottam, Nottinghamshire. He served as a soldier in the Low Countries and Ireland, but retired into civil life about 1593. He was a prolific translator, compiler, and original writer. It has been suggested that he is the ‘rival poet’ of Shakespeare's sonnets.
