Specialty Definition: Francis Thompson

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Francis Thompson (December 18, 1859 - November 13, 1907) was an English poet.

Francis Thompson was born in Preston, Lancashire, England. He was a Roman Catholic who studied at Ushaw College. He also studied medicine at Manchester, but does not seem to have done well at it, for after moving to London he was reduced to selling matches and newspapers for a living. During this time he became addicted to opium, which he initially took as a remedy for ill health.

His most famous poem, "The Hound of Heaven" describes the pursuit of the human soul by God. He also wrote Sister Songs (1895), New Poems (1897), and a posthumously published essay: Shelley (1909).

Thompson died of tuberculosis in London.

James Thomson

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

James Thomson (1700-1748) was a Scottish poet.

He was born at Ednam in Roxburghshire, and educated at the University of Edinburgh. It was while a student there that he first published some of his poems, their subject matter mainly being the Jed Valley where he had been brought up. He had been intended for a career in the church, but gave up his divinity course because his sermons were criticised as being too flowery.

In 1725 he went to London, where he met other literary figures including a fellow-Scotsman, David Mallet. He quickly became successful, and won favour with Frederick, Prince of Wales, whom he supported politically. His collected poetry was published as The Seasons in 1730, and he became tutor to the son of Sir Charles Talbot, then Solicitor-General. Afterwards, he became a secretary in chancery and his next major work, Liberty (1734) was dedicated to the Prince of Wales. He also wrote several plays, including The Tragedy of Sophonisba (1734) and collaborated with Mallet on the masque, Alfred, which contained the song, Rule Britannia, and was first performed at Cliveden, the country home of the Prince and Princess of Wales. After Talbot's death, however, Thomson fell out of favour with the prince, and his career ended with The Castle of Indolence, his best-known work, which was published just before his own death.

Joseph John Thomson

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Sir Joseph John Thomson (18 December 1856 - 30 August 1940), often known as "JJ", was an English physicist, the discoverer of the electron.

Thomson was born in 1856 near Manchester, England, of Scottish parentage. He studied engineering at Owen's College, Manchester, and moved on to Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1884 he became Cavendish Professor of Physics. In 1890 he married Rose Paget, and he had two children with her. One of his students was Ernest Rutherford, who would later succeed him in the post.

Influenced by the work of James Clerk Maxwell, and the discovery of the X-ray, he deduced that cathode rays (see cathode ray tube) existed of negatively charged particles, which he called "corpuscles", and which are now known as electrons. The electron had been posited earlier, by G. Johnstone Stoney, as a unit of charge in electrochemistry, but Thompson realised that it was also a subatomic particle, the first one to be discovered. His discovery was made known in 1897, and caused a sensation in scientific circles, eventually resulting in his being awarded a Nobel prize (1906).

Prior to the outbreak of World War I, he made another ground-breaking discovery: the isotope. In 1918, he became Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he remained till his dead. He died in 1940 and is buried in Westminster Abbey, close to Isaac Newton.
