Biographical

The Life of William Cowper
by Thomas Wright
University Press of the Pacific, 2005.
"Mr. Wright, a long-time Cowper scholar, wrote an extremely
comprehensive biography of the pre-Romantic 18th century
English poet. He was able to avail himself of collections
of Cowper's letters and of the unpublished journals of a
number of Cowper's friends." —The Publisher.

A Portrait of William Cowper: His Own Interpreter in Letters and Poems
by Louise B. Risk
Bent Branch Publishers, 2004.
"A readable and scholarly study of William Cowper.
This faithful recounting of Cowper's life lets him tell
his own story in his own words. A generous selection of
Cowper's poems displays the timeless and natural style
that charmed Benjamin Franklin and influenced William Blake.
Cowper's lively letters, often filled with warmth and dry
humor, include vivid descriptions of his battles with despair.
They also reveal his deep Christian faith and love of nature.
Louise B. Risk deftly sorts through his work and letters,
and the best of modern scholarship on the relationship
between mental illness and creativity, to produce a compelling
and vivid portrait." —The Publisher.

Cowper's work enduringly loved: his gentle humor and
detailed, delighted observations of the incidentals of
