Cleveland, John

▪ English poet

born June 16, 1613, Loughborough, Leicestershire, Eng.
died April 29, 1658, London
 English poet, the most popular of his time, and then and in later times the most commonly abused Metaphysical poet.

      Educated at Cambridge, Cleveland became a fellow there before joining the Royalist army at Oxford in 1643. In 1645–46 he was judge advocate with the garrison at Newark until it surrendered to the Parliamentary forces, after which he lived with friends. When Charles I put himself in the hands of the Scots' army and they turned him over to the Parliamentary forces, Cleveland excoriated his enemies in a famous satire, "The Rebel Scot." Imprisoned for “delinquency” in 1655, Cleveland was released on appeal to Oliver Cromwell (Cromwell, Oliver), but he did not repudiate his royalist convictions.

      Cleveland's poems first appeared in The Character of a London Diurnal (1647) and thereafter in some 20 collections in the next quarter century; this large number of editions attests to his great popularity in the mid-17th century. Cleveland carried Metaphysical obscurity and conceit to their limits, and many of his poems are merely intellectual gymnastics. From the time of John Dryden's deprecatory criticism of the Metaphysical poets, Cleveland has been a whipping boy for them, largely because his conceits are profuse and cosmetic rather than integral to his thought. Cleveland's real achievement lay in his political poems, which were mostly written in heroic couplets and satirized contemporary persons and issues. Cleveland's political satires influenced his friend Samuel Butler (Butler, Samuel) (in Hudibras), and his use of heroic couplets foreshadowed that of Dryden.
