William Somervile

William Somervile or Somerville (September 2, 1675 - July 19, 1742) was an English poet.

Somervile was the eldest son of a country gentleman, and was born at Edstone, Worcestershire. He was educated at Winchester College and at New College, Oxford. After his father's death in 1705 he lived on his estate, devoting himself especially to field sports, which supplied the subjects of his best-known poems. His publications were "The Two Springs" (1725), a fable; "Occasional Poems ..." (1727); "The Chace" ("The Chase") (1735); "Hobbinol, or the Rural Games" (1740), a burlesque poem describing the Cotswold Games; and "Field Sports" (1742), a poem on hawking.

His "Chase" passed through many editions. It was illustrated by Thomas Bewick (1796), by Thomas Stothard (1800), and by Hugh Thomson (1896), with a preface by RF Sharp.
