George Crabbe

English poet, surgeon, and clergyman (1754–1832)

George Crabbe ( KRAB; 24 December 1754 – 3 February 1832) was an English poet and clergyman. He is best known for his early use of the realistic narrative form and his descriptions of middle and working-class life and people. Aged 14, Crabbe was apprenticed to a farmer–apothecary at Wickhambrook, which he resented, spending more time as a farm-hand than training as an apothecary.
