Ioannes Robinson Jeffers (10 Ianuarii 1887—20 Ianuarii 1962) fuit poeta Americanus, propter opera de litore mediae Californiae notus. Plurima eius poematum formam narrativam et epicam habent, sed poeta hodie ob versus breviores memoria tenetur, iconque putatur motus circumiectorum. Olim magni momenti et magnopere observatus contra eius inhumanismum dictum, credere solebat superare pugnas requisiverunt res humanae pro toto infinito imminuerentur. Qua pro causa incursioni Americanae in bello mundano repugnavit; quo facto, lectores eum misanthropicum vel nihilisticum esse credentibus, eius bona fama destructa est.

Vita

Jeffers natus est in Allegheny Pennsylvaniae (nunc parte Pittsburgi), filius Reverendi Doctoris Gulielmi Hamilton Jeffers, clerici Presbyteriani et Bibliorum Sacrorum periti, et Annulae Robinson Tuttle uxoris. Hamilton Jeffers frater et astronomus notus, operam Observatorio Lickiano dedit. Familia eius studium poesi sustinuit. Iuvenis iter per Europam fecit, scholamque in Helvetia frequentavit. Qui miraculum puerile rebus classicis et linguis et litteris Graecae et Latinae studuit. Sedecim annos natus in Collegio Occidentali matriculavit, ubi rure avide utebatur, societatique litterarum cupide intererat.
