Biography:

ETTY, Robert (fl 1815)

Etty is a Yorkshire surname and the author may have been one of the many Robert Ettys born in that county in the period. However, given the London publication of what seems to be his only book, he may have been the Robert Etty, son of William and Elizabeth, who was baptised in London on 3 Nov. 1782. But nothing is certain. The poem is modelled on Byron’s Eastern tales. (ancestry.co.uk 6 Nov. 2025) SR
