William Ellery Channing II (November 29, 1817 – December 23, 1901) was an American Transcendentalist poet, nephew and namesake of the Unitarian preacher Dr.William Ellery Channing.
His uncle was usually known as "Dr.Channing", while the nephew was commonly called "Ellery Channing", in print.The younger Ellery Channing was thought brilliant but undisciplined by many of his contemporaries.
Amos Bronson Alcott famously said of him in 1871, "Whim, thy name is Channing." Nevertheless, the Transcendentalists thought his poetry among the best of their group's literary products.
