[Cowper, William] Thomas, Gilbert.. William Cowper and the eighteenth century.. London, George Allen & Unwin., 1948.

Price: US$86.87 + shipping

Description: New and revised edition. Octavo. Portrait-Frontispice, 347 pages. Original Hardcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. From the reference library of Hans Christian Andersen – Translator Erik Haugaard, with his Exlibris on the pastedown. Includes for example: Childhood and Youth / The LAw Student / The Evangelical Revival / John Newton and the "Olney Hymns" / Life at Orchard Side / Lady Austen and "The Frogs" / The Poet and his Age / etc. William Cowper (26 November 1731 – 25 April 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. After being institutionalised for insanity, Cowper found refuge in a fervent evangelical Christianity. He continued to suffer doubt and, after a dream in 1773, believed that he was doomed to eternal damnation. He recovered and wrote more religious hymns. His religious sentiment and association with John Newton (who wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace") led to much of the poetry for which he is best remembered, and to the series of Olney Hymns. His poem "Light Shining out of Darkness" gave English the phrase: "God moves in a mysterious way/His wonders to perform." He also wrote a number of anti-slavery poems and his friendship with Newton, who was an avid anti-slavery campaigner, resulted in Cowper being asked to write in support of the Abolitionist campaign. Cowper wrote a poem called "The Negro's Complaint" (1788) which rapidly became very famous, and was often quoted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the 20th century civil rights movement. He also wrote several other less well known poems on slavery in the 1780s, many of which attacked the idea that slavery was economically viable. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
