Clement Moore Shirt, Christmas Poem Tee, Literary Christmas Gift for English Teachers, Poetry Lovers, Librarians and Professors

Hebrew professor. Poet. Accidentally Christmas. A chibi storybook-watercolor Clement Clarke Moore tee for English teachers, poetry lovers, librarians and professors who love a literary Christmas.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) was a New York scholar who taught Oriental and Greek literature, including Hebrew, at the General Theological Seminary, and he published a Hebrew dictionary in 1809. He is credited with the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," first printed anonymously in the Troy Sentinel on December 23, 1823. It was first credited to him in print in 1837, and he included it in his own poems in 1844. The family of Henry Livingston Jr. later credited him instead, so authorship is still debated, which is why we say "credited with."
