44. Cowper, William William Cowper (pronounced Cooper /'kupə(r)/) (November 26, 1731 – April 25, 1800) was an English poet and hymnodist, one of the most popular poets of the eighteenthcentury. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/William_Cowper

Cowper, William From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (William Congreve) Next (William Cullen Bryant) Portrait of William Cowper attributed to artist George Romney. William Cowper (pronounced Cooper /'ku:pə(r)/) (November 26, 1731 – April 25, 1800) was an English poet and hymnodist, one of the most popular poets of the eighteenthcentury. Cowper is particularly noted for his nature poetry, which, in contrast to much of the ornate poetry of the eighteenth century, was written in a direct and accessible style drawing on scenes from everyday life in rural England . For these reasons, Cowper's nature poetry is often seen as a forerunner of the Romantic poetry of Robert Burns and William Wordsworth . In addition to being renowned as one of the greatest nature poets of his age, Cowper is also notable as one of the most prolific and popular authors of religious poetry in the English language. Cowper himself suffered from severe depression and religious doubt throughout his life; but his poems, which reveal a tortured mind at war with itself in search of faith, are among the most moving statements of religious sentiment ever written. Contents Life of Cowper Major works Familiar quotations from Cowper Notes ... Credits Life of Cowper William Cowper Cowper was born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. After education at Westminster School, he was apprenticed to a Mr. Chapman, solicitor, of Ely Place, Holborn, in order to be trained for a career in law. During this time, he spent his leisure at the home of his uncle, Ashley Cowper, falling in love there with his cousin, Theodora, whom he wished to marry. Although the two were briefly engaged, Theodora's father intervened, refusing to allow the marriage to proceed. This refusal left Cowper distraught and sent him spiraling into the first of his myriad bouts of depression.

In 1697, the author published at Oxford , in folio, “ The Anatomy of Human Bodies, ” many of the plates of which were purchased by some London booksellers in Holland , and belonged to Bidloo’s anatomy. The dispute which this occasioned, we have already noticed (see Bidloo ), and may now add that it terminated very little to Cowper’s credit. Bidloo complained of the theft to the royal society, and wrote a very severe pamphlet, entitled “

Cowper also suffered from bouts of some more disturbing mental disequilibrium, associated in his mind with religious conviction and a deeply troubling sense of his own damnation. He is best known for his hymns, his translations from Latin and Greek (including The Odyssey ), and for the long poem The Task (1785), well-known in its day, passages of which evoke the melancholy (found also in some odes and other poems) which bring him within the purview of the graveyarders, though he's not quite as charnel in his imagery as, say, Robert Blair or Edward Young , his companions in boneyard verse...

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Cowper, William (b . Nov. 26, 1731, Great Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, Eng.d. April 25, 1800, East Dereham, Norfolk), one of the most widely read English poets of his day, whose most characteristic work, as in The Task or the melodious short lyric "The Poplar Trees," brought a new directness to 18th-century nature poetry. Cowper wrote of the joys and sorrows of everyday life and was content to describe hedgerows, ditches, rivers, haystacks, and hares. In his sympathy with such phenomena, his concern for the poor and downtrodden, and his comparative simplicity of language, he may be seen as one in revolt against much 18th-century verse and as a forerunner of Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. While he is often gently humorous in his verse, the tragedy that was never far below the surface of his mind is revealed in "The Castaway." After the death of his mother when he was six, Cowper (pronounced "Cooper"), the son of an Anglican clergyman, was sent to a local boarding school. He then moved to Westminster School, in London, and in 1750 began to study law. He was called to the bar in 1754 and took chambers in London's Middle Temple in 1757. During his student days he fell in love with his cousin, Theodora Cowper, and for a while the two were engaged. But Cowper was beginning to show signs of the mental instability that plagued him throughout his life. His father had died in 1756, leaving little wealth, and Cowper's family used its influence to obtain two administrative posts for him in the House of Lords, which entailed a formal examination. This prospect so disturbed him that he attempted suicide and was confined for 18 months in an asylum, troubled by religious doubts and fears and persistently dreaming of his predestined damnation.

(See map...ref no. 25) Cowper was the son of the Rector of Great Berkhamsted and was educated at Westminster School in London. Cowper's mother died when he was only six years old and this event had a profound effect upon his already sensitive nature. Later in life, Cowper would be inspired to write one of his finest poems when he received a picture of his mother from his cousin Ann Bodham. After leaving school Cowper became articled to a solicitor and in 1754 he was called to the bar and later took up a clerkship in the House of Commons. However, by this stage his fits of depression had became severe and he attempted suicide. Cowper was to suffer similar bouts of depression for the rest of his life and, as a result, he lived in virtual retirement.

Cowper, William From Enlightenment Revolution Jump to: navigation search Cowper, William (1731-1800): English Poet. William Cowper was one of the most famous poets of his generation and one of the eighteenth century’s most prolific letter writers. Cowper was classically educated at Westminster School, and upon graduation established himself as a lawyer. He only briefly enjoyed life as a London lawyer, however, before entering the literary profession. In his voluminous correspondence, Cowper discussed his life work as a poet and the inner turmoil that led to his attempted suicide and mental breakdown in 1763. In Adelphi (1767), Cowper provided an autobiographical account of his mental problems as part of his spiritual journey from sin to salvation. Much of that journey involved Cowper’s Evangelical conversion, and in his collaboration with John Newton on Olney Hymns (1779), Cowper provided Evangelicals with one of their most popular hymnbooks. Cowper’s major poetry thematically echoed the religious strains in his hymns, the most substantial collection of verse published with his first volume: Poems by William Cowper , of the Inner Temple, Esq. (1782). Cowper’s use of strong, forceful language and his focus on emotional responses and intense religious experiences in The Task (1785) significantly influenced the Romantic movement. His rugged style did not always fare well in an age of polished verse, however, and his translation of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey (1791), in which he counters
