About the authors

John Jones

b. 1774

Best known as the “old servant” poet championed by Robert Southey, this little-known 19th-century writer published verse shaped by working life rather than formal literary training. His story survives mainly through his book and the brief autobiographical account printed with it.

1667–1745
