William Cowper

1731-11-26 — 1800-04-25 · Berkhamsted

William Cowper (1731-1800) was an English poet and hymn writer. He is remembered for his lyrical and reflective poetry, which often addresses themes of nature, faith, and domestic life. His most famous work includes "The Task", a long narrative poem, and "Olney Hymns", a collection of religious hymns. Cowper struggled with mental health issues throughout his life, which also profoundly influenced his poetry, bringing characteristic introspection and melancholy.
