生平

[编辑]

他出生于英格兰伦敦康希尔,在家中12个孩子里排名第5,但却是唯一一个长大成年的孩子[2]。他的父亲菲利普是一名公证人,母亲多萝西是一名女帽商[3]。他的父亲精神有问题,后来其母带他离家出走[4]

他曾就读于伊顿公学,在那里结识了好友贺拉斯·沃波尔(首相罗伯特·沃波尔之子)等[5]。1734年,他入读剑桥大学彼得学院[6],1738年和贺拉斯一起前往欧洲壮游[3]

他在1742年开始正式从事诗歌写作[7],后来先后成为剑桥大学彼得学院和剑桥大学彭布罗克学院成员。[8]

1762年,剑桥大学现代史钦定讲座教授特纳(Shallet Turner)去世,格雷的朋友们想游说政府将该职位给予格雷,但最终他还是输给了劳伦斯·布伦克特。格雷在1768年布伦克特去世后才当上现代史钦定讲座教授[9]

墓碑

他在1771年于剑桥去世,之后葬在斯托克波吉斯母亲的墓旁。[10]
