Travel with William Cowper: The Evangelical Poet
Overview
Although the name of William Cowper remains unknown to many, he was widely acclaimed as a literary genius and the greatest poet of his era. His verse was often read by royalty, and towards the end of his life, he was granted a pension by King George III. Many scholars regard Cowper as having paved the way for Wordsworth, Tennyson, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and other Romantics. He made poetry more accessible to the ordinary person, and above all, aimed to point people to God through his chosen medium. In spite of his own tragic mental depression, he was immensely successful, and is undoubtedly considered the greatest evangelical poet.
