Brooke, Henry (1703–83), published Universal Beauty (1735), a poem which was thought to have greatly influenced E. Darwin's The Botanic Garden. Encouraged by Garrick, he wrote several plays. His highly successful novel The Fool of Quality (1765–70) and Juliet Grenville (1774) are notable for their looseness of structure and for a sustained tone of high sensibility.
