Excerpt from Selections From Cowper's Letters: Edited With Introduction and Notes
IN making this selection of Cowper's letters I have kept two main objects in View: to set forth all the phases of his life and character, and to illustrate his greatest work, The Task. For students of Cowper the book may thus form a useful companion volume to my edition of that poem in this Series.

For much that is valuable in my Introduction my grateful acknowledgments are due to the Rev. H. T. Griffith's "Introduction" and "Life of Cowper" in Vols. I. and II. of Cowper's Poems in the Clarendon Press Series. And as regards both my Introduction and Notes, I have to express my indebtedness to the excellent Life of William Cowper by Mr. Thomas Wright, Principal of Cowper School, Olney.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of letters penned by William Cowper, one of the great poets of the English language. Cowper moved in literary circles, and this volume provides an enthralling insight into his relationships with fellow writers such as Hayley, Newton, and Unwin. The letters reveal Cowper as a humorist, a keen observer of nature, an advocate for kindness towards animals, and a man of deep religious faith. As well as shedding new light on Cowper's personal life, the letters provide historical context, with Cowper witnessing and commenting on the political and social events of his day: the American War of Independence, the Gordon Riots, and the rise of the French Revolution. Cowper's letters are notable for their intelligence, empathy, and literary merit, cementing his position as a master not only of poetry but also of the epistolary form.
