EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures E. Fenton, an influential figure in 18th-century English literature. Born in 1683, Fenton was not only a poet but also a biographer and translator. Educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, he went on to work as the secretary to Charles Boyle in Flanders before becoming the Master of Sevenoaks Grammar School. Fenton's collaboration with Alexander Pope on a translation of the Odyssey is well-known, showcasing his talent for language and literary interpretation. Additionally, he wrote extensively about the life of John Milton, further cementing his place in British literary history. The direct gaze of E. Fenton captured in this engraving reflects both confidence and intelligence. His attire suggests that this portrait was taken during the 18th or early 19th century when men typically wore formal clothing such as suits and hats. Preserved within Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830; this image offers us a glimpse into the past - an era where intellectual pursuits were highly valued. As we admire this photograph today, we can appreciate E. Fenton's contributions to literature while recognizing him as one of many remarkable individuals who shaped British culture during that time period.
