Joseph Trumbull Stickney (June 20, 1874 – October 11, 1904) was an American classical scholar and poet. He was born in Geneva and spent the majority of his childhood in Europe. * He attended Harvard University from 1891, when he became editor of the Harvard Monthly and a member of the Signet Society, to 1895, when he graduated magna cum laude. * He studied in Paris for seven years before pursuing a doctorate at the Sorbonne. He wrote two dissertations, one on the Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro, and another on Les Sentences in La Poésie Grecque d'Homère à Euripide. *The latter is largely due to The Birth of Tragedy and Stickney's research of the Bhagavad Gita under Silvain Lévi's tutelage. Stickney's was the first American docteur ès lettres. He wrote his first book of verse Dramatic Verses (1902) and went on to teach Classics at Harvard (1903), but he died in Boston of a brain tumor a year later. Stickney is one of a number of Harvard poets (or Harvard Pessimists) who died young, including Thomas Parker Sanborn, George Cabot Lodge, Philip Henry Savage, and Hugh McCulloch. Stickney's poem "Song" (which describes the earth's ebullient in late spring and the cuckoo singing "not yet") is plagiarized in Robert De Niro's 2006 film The Good Shepherd, a Yale professor of English portrayed by Michael Gambon as Dr. Fredericks, a failed attempt to seduce the protagonist, played by Matt Damon.
