William Broome

William Broome (1689 - 1745) was an English poet and translator. He was born in Haslington, near Crewe, Cheshire and died in Bath.

He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, entered the Church, and became rector of Sturston in Suffolk, and later Pulham in Norfolk and Eye in Suffolk. He translated the "Iliad" in prose along with others, and was employed by Alexander Pope, whom he excelled as a Greek scholar, in translating the "Odyssey", of which he Englished the 2nd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 18th, and 23rd books, catching the style of his master so exactly as almost to defy identification, and thus annoying him so as to earn a niche in The Dunciad. He also translated the Odes of Anacreon. He published verses of his own of very moderate poetical merit
