Biography:

GOODWIN, Thomas (fl 1779)

In one of the poems in The Loyal Shepherds the author identifies himself as “Tom Goodwin” but the name is common and no information that can be linked to this author has been located. His book attracted a respectable number of subscribers and the two London booksellers who handled the sale, Henry Satchell and John Shove, each took twenty-five copies. MR confined its review of The Loyal Shepherds to just one line: “A wretched collection of trash!” (MR 61 [1779], 150)
