Home Words and WordPlay Clerihews Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) is remembered mainly for his classic detective story Trent's Last Case and for the verse form that was named after him - the clerihew. It was at the age of sixteen, while he was at St. Paul's School in London, that Bentley first started writing clerihews, as a diversion from school work. G. K. Chesterton, Bentley's life-long friend, was at St. Paul's at the same time, and he too wrote clerihews. Here is one of Bentley's original clerihews from this period: Sir Humphrey Davy Abominated gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium. Bentley's first collection of verse in this vein was published in 1905 as Biography For Beginners . Further collections appeared in 1929 and in 1939. It was soon after publication of the first volume that the name CLERIHEW became applied to this particular form of light verse. What exactly is a clerihew? Frances Stillman in The Poet's Manual and Rhyming Dictionary defines it as 'a humorous pseudo-biographical quatrain, rhymed as two couplets, with line of uneven length more or less in the rhythm of prose'. Add to this, that the name of the subject usually ends the first or, less often, the second line, and that the humour of the clerihew is whimsical rather than satiric, and there you have a complete definition. Here is a brief selection of my favourite Bentley clerihews: The people of Spain think Cervantes Equal to half-a-dozen Dantes;

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and of England, and with over seven million inhabitants in the Greater London area, is the second-most populous conurbation in Europe (after Moscow). From being Londinium , the capital of Roman Britannia, it rose to become the centre of the British Empire and to contribute today 17% of the GDP of the world's fourth largest economy. London has been one of the world's most important centres of commerce and politics for almost two millennia (although the capital of England was Winchester during most of the Dark Ages).

home music details highlights schedule ... Classic FM Breakfast Word of the Day: Friday 20 December 2002 clerihew Kel Richards writes A clerihew is (like a limerick or sonnet) a type of verse. To be more specific, a clerihew is a comic four-line verse, consisting of two couplets of varying lengths, usually dealing with a biographical subject matter. This verse form is named after the man who invented it Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). He spent most of his life as a journalist on the staff of first the Daily News and then the Daily Telegraph in London. For the Daily Telegraph he was first a leader writer, and then Chief Literary Critic. Bentley was a good friend of G K Chesterton and part of that literary set. In 1913 (under the name E C Bentley) he published what is still regarded as a classic among detective novels: Trent’s Last Case. Earlier he had invented this strange comic verse form, a collection of which was published under the title of Biography for Beginners (1905). This was followed by More Biography, Baseless Biography and Clerihews Complete. Here’s an example of one of Bentley’s clerihews: Sir Christopher Wren Said, ‘I’m going to dine with some men.
