About the Author

John Keble was an English poet and Anglican priest who lived from April 25, 1792, to March 29, 1866. He was a leader of the Oxford Movement. The college in Oxford, UK, is named after him. Keble was born in Fairford, Gloucestershire, on April 25, 1792. His father, also John Keble, was the vicar of Coln St. Aldwyns There. His father taught him and his brother Thomas at home until they both went to Oxford. Keble was given a scholarship to go to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1806. In 1810, he got double first-class honors in both Latin and math, showing how well he did in school. He won prizes at school for both his English and Latin writings in 1811 and was made a fellow of Oriel College. He taught and graded at the University of Oxford for a number of years. Between 1824 and 1835, he was offered three jobs, but he turned them all down because he didn't want to be away from his father and only living sister. He was put forward to be provost of Oriel College in 1828 but was not chosen. The Christian Year is a book of songs for the Sundays and holy days of the church year. He had been writing it at the same time.
