Charles Goodall
Edit ProfileCareer
A student of Eton College and then Merton College, Oxford, he wrote a number of romantic and erotic poems referring to male students at said colleges. In 1689, the year of his death, he put together a collection entitled Poems and Translations which contains 33 poems with male-male subject matter, eleven regarding women, and 13 to a mistress named "Idera" (considered probably imaginary). A number of the homoerotic poems have been rewritten to remove the same-sex subject matter.
Goodall"s father—Doctor Charles Goodall—was a London physician.
