James Hervey (1714-1758) was an English Anglican minister and writer who became known for his devotional works, particularly Meditations and Contemplations (1746). Influenced by John Wesley and the Methodist movement at Oxford, he served as a parish priest while pursuing his passion for writing, which intersected with the art world and influenced artists like William Blake.
