John Keble was an English clergyman and poet, born on April 25, 1792, in Fairford, Gloucestershire. He is best known as one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive the Catholic heritage of the Church of England. Keble's most notable work is his collection of hymns, "The Christian Year," published in 1827, which has had a lasting influence on Anglican worship.
