Inhaltsangabe

The letters in this bicentenary volume, discretely headnoted, build into a kind of candid autobiography, tracing Cowper through a series of relationships and crises, his love for Mary Unwin, the writing of his poetry, and his final years. There are the places of his life as well, places which matter deeply to the poet, most notably Olney itself, where he wrote the hymns. The nature he describes with loving particularity appealed to those swept up in the vogue for the Picturesque. Unlike them, he came to nature directly, not through art.
