À propos de l'auteur

James Thomson (1700–1748) was a Scottish poet and playwright, renowned for his works that vividly intertwine natural landscapes with philosophical musings. His poetry is often considered as a precursor to Romanticism, emphasizing emotional response to the natural world. Thomson's magnum opus, 'The Seasons', is a series of four long poems, which are an in-depth exploration of nature and the human experience throughout the different times of the year. 'Autumn', a part of this collection, exemplifies his mastery of rich description and his profound appreciation for the beauty and the melancholy inherent in that season. 'The Seasons' had a considerable influence on the development of the natural description in poetry and established Thomson as a key figure in early 18th-century literature. Additionally, Thomson's work is noted for its structure and for the harmonious blend of sound and sense, which has been celebrated by both his contemporaries and later literary critics. Outside his poetic endeavors, Thomson also penned the lyrics to 'Rule, Britannia!', a patriotic song that has left a lasting imprint on British cultural history. Thomson's ability to evoke a sense of place and emotion through his verse secures his place as one of the significant contributors to the canon of British literature.
