Clement Clarke Moore Boeken
15 juli 1779 – 10 juli 1863
Hoewel Clement Clarke Moore tegenwoordig vooral bekend is als de auteur van "A Visit From St. Nicholas", was hij tijdens zijn leven een gerespecteerd hoogleraar literatuur en een kenner van oude talen. Zijn academische bezigheden omvatten een diepe betrokkenheid bij oosterse en Griekse literatuur, en hij stelde een aanzienlijk Hebreeuws lexicon samen. Moore was diep verbonden met New York City, waar hij land schonk voor een theologisch seminarie en waar een wijk naar hem werd vernoemd. Zijn literaire nalatenschap leeft vooral voort door zijn geliefde kerstgedicht, dat een dierbare feestdagtraditie is geworden.
