This article is about the Canadian poet of the 19th Century. For the 18th Century Anglo-Irish poet, novelist, playwright, and physician, see Oliver Goldsmith.
Oliver Goldsmith (1794–1861) was a Canadianpoet born in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. In 1822 he wrote some verses for an amateur theatre in Halifax.[1] He is best known for The Rising Village, which appeared in 1825. It was at once the first book-length poem published by a native English-Canadian and the first book-length publication in England by a Canadian poet.[2] Furthermore, his Autobiography is the first autobiography of a native Canadian writer.[3] He is not to be confused with his great-uncle Oliver Goldsmith, to whose celebrated poem The Deserted VillageThe Rising Village is a response.
