Encyclopedia > James Thomson (B.V.)

James Thomson (1834 - 1882) was a Scottish poet, best known for his long poem The City of Dreadful Night (1874). He was born in Port-Glasgow. In London he was a friend of Charles Bradlaugh.


He used the pseudonym Bysshe Vanolis, and is often distinguished from the earlier James Thomson by use of the B.V. after the name. That is as in Bysshe for Shelley and Vanolis from Novalis.
