William Broome

Poet

William Broome was an English poet and translator best known for his collaboration with Alexander Pope. Educated at Eton College and St John's College, Cambridge, he was chosen by Pope to assist in translating the Odyssey, for which he translated eight books. His relationship with Pope eventually deteriorated, resulting in his satirical mention in The Dunciad. Broome's own work, including his 1727 collection Poems on Several Occasions, reflects his classical learning and poetic ability.
