The William Cowper Collection contains six volumes from the beloved poet and hymnodist. These volumes include his poems, hymns, poetry translations, and correspondence. His poems and hymns are deeply rooted in his faith, and his mixing of evangelical spirit and love for nature made him one of the most popular poets of his day. This collection includes the popular Olney Hymns, his collaboration with John Newton, author of “Amazing Grace.” It also contains his popular collection The Task, the epic poem Tirocinium, and over 100 miscellaneous poems and hymns.
It’s in Cowper’s letters, though, that we find some of his most profound statements about faith. A prolific letter writer, Cowper wrote candidly to friends and family. The four-volume Correspondence of William Cowper contains hundreds of Cowper’s letters, spanning more than 40 years and revealing a man who strived each day to walk further in his faith. Editor Thomas Wright, who assembled and annotated the letters, also wrote the biography of Cowper included here.
This is the ultimate William Cowper collection, containing all his poems, hymns, and correspondence. In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages are tagged and appear on mouse-over. For scholarly work or personal Bible study, this makes these texts more powerful and easier to access than ever before. Perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “faith” or “John 3:16.”
