Clement Clarke Moore Livres
15 juillet 1779 – 10 juillet 1863
Bien que Clement Clarke Moore soit aujourd'hui principalement connu comme l'auteur de "A Visit From St. Nicholas", de son vivant, il fut un professeur de littérature respecté et un érudit des langues anciennes. Ses activités académiques comprenaient un engagement profond envers la littérature orientale et grecque, et il a compilé un important lexique hébreu. Moore était profondément lié à New York City, faisant don de terrains pour un séminaire théologique et donnant son nom à un quartier en son honneur. Son héritage littéraire perdure de manière plus proéminente à travers son poème de Noël bien-aimé, devenu une précieuse tradition des fêtes.
Considéré comme le poème le plus célèbre de la langue anglaise, "Twas The Night Before Christmas", écrit en 1823, est un poème de vacances apprécié par les familles.

"I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick," wrote Clement Moore in 1822. Since then, his graphic Santa Claus image has become the world's. Moore's jolly old self, the reindeer-sleigh and chimney leap, the bag full of toys and visions of sugar plums so richly vivid in his poem, practically beg to be colored — and now they can be, in this coloring book illustrated by John O'Brien. The text of the poem accompanies the drawings, most spread over two pages, which capture in marvelous detail that tingle of Christmas best sensed by children.
