c1884 The Poetical Works Of William Cowper
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding
William Cowper (1731 - 1800) was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th 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. Previous owner's gift ink inscription dated Feb. 14th 84 to front free endpaper.
