Paperback. Zustand: 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.
