Robert Traill Spence Lowell was born in Boston. In addition to a novelist and poet, Lowell was an educator (he served at various times as a school headmaster and a college professor) and an Episcopal priest. He tended to draw on places he lived for his works; the novel The New Priest in Conception Bay is set in Newfoundland--also the scene of Lowell's first pastoral appointment.
