Biography:
NASH, William (fl 1830-32)
pseudonym Endymion
No records have been located; the identification is from O'Donoghue who states that he was born in Cork in the early 1800s, published verse in Cork newspapers under the pseudonym “Endymion,” and moved to London where he edited The Patriot. O'Donoghue claims that he may be identical with William Newenham Nash (1807-81) who later published some books of poetry and other works. However he was born in Bridgenorth, Shropshire, died in London, and published only religious verse and other works. "Endymion" published poems in the Cork Constitution and in the Southern Reporter from May 1830 to about July 1832. Fugitive Poems was favourably reviewed in the Southern Reporter.
