Henry James Pye was an English poet, and Poet Laureate from 1790 until his death. His appointment as laureate owed nothing to poetic achievement and may have been awarded to him as compensation for the loss of his seat in Parliament.
Pye was a competent prose writer who fancied himself as a poet, earning the derisive label of poetaster.
