Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cowley´s Prose Works: With Introduction and Notes Abraham Cowley, the son of Thomas Cowley, a citizen of London, was born in 1618. The father died before his boy´s birth, so that he was brought up by a widowed mother. Of her character he speaks most affectionately in his Essays. He appears to have been tenderly cared for also by his godfather; to whom in the Sylva, a collection of the poems of his early years, he writes: ´I´m glad that city to whom I ow´d before (But ah me! Fate hath crost that willing score:) A father, gave me a godfather too, And I´m more glad because it gave me you, Whom I may rightly think and term to be Of the whole city an epitome.´ Cowley´s was no eventful life, and it is possible from his writings to make such a notice of him as it is proposed to give largely autobiographical. He describes in the essay already quoted his shy and retiring manner which led him to steal away from his schoolfellows into the fields, with a book for his company.
