Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of William Cowper, Vol. 2: With Remarks on Epistolary Writers A new æra opens in the history of the poet, from an incident that gave fresh ardour and vivacity to his fertile imagination. In 1781 he became acquainted with a lady, highly accomplished herself, and singularly happy in animating and directing the fancy of her poetical friends. The world will perfectly agree with me in this eulogy, when I add, that to this lady we are primarily indebted for the poem of the Task, for the ballad of John Gilpin, and for the translation of Homer. But in my lively sense of her merit, I am almost forgetting my immediate duty, as the biographer of the poet, to introduce her circumstantially to the acquaintance of my reader.
