520			_a"Cowper" by Goldwin Smith is a biographical exploration written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life of William Cowper, an influential English poet known for his poignant contributions to the literary world between the time of Alexander Pope and the Romantic poets that followed, such as Wordsworth and Byron. It examines Cowper's role in shaping poetry towards greater authenticity and emotional depth while also highlighting his connections to the Evangelical movement, as well as his mental health struggles and personal relationships. The opening of the book introduces Cowper's early life, emphasizing his privileged background and the significant losses he faced, particularly the death of his mother at a young age. It outlines the harsh realities of his childhood experiences, including his time at boarding school, the bullying he endured, and his struggle with mental illness later in life. The passage also foreshadows Cowper's eventual retreat into a life of literary seclusion and highlights his early friendships and influences, setting the stage for a deeper examination of his poetic works and the profound impact of his personal challenges on his creative expression.
