Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The volume includes three appendices - (A) Uncollected Letters and Essays, (B) Uncollected Poems: Early and Late, and (C) Uncollected Magazine Contributions to Magazines: 1789-93. William Cowper was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of eighteenth century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", whilst William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem Yardley-Oak. Contains portraits of various figures.
