William Lisle Bowles war ein englischer Geistlicher, Dichter und Kritiker, dessen frühe Sonette bedeutende Anerkennung fanden und Zeitgenossen wie Coleridge und Wordsworth beeinflussten. Über seine Lyrik hinaus ist Bowles vielleicht mehr für seine kritische Arbeit gefeiert. Seine Ausgabe der Werke von Alexander Pope, begleitet von einem Essay, führte unterschiedliche Prinzipien in Bezug auf poetische Bilder ein. Diese kritische Haltung löste eine erhebliche Debatte aus und kontrastierte scharf die Ansichten über das, was natürliche und künstliche poetische Ausdrucksformen ausmachte.
