He went to study medicine intending to practice until the age of forty and then retire to write poetry. Lung disease forced him to retire in 1882, and from that point on he devoted himself to writing and literary research. However, Bridges' literary work started long before his retirement, his first collection of poems having been published in 1873. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1913 by George V, the only medical graduate to have held the office. He died in Oxford on the 21st of April 1930.Poetry of Alexander Pope - Volume IXEnglish poetryEnglish poetry.821.5Pope Alexander167714MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163302603321The Poetry of Alexander Pope - Volume IX3010826UNINA
