Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of a 17th-century English poet, largely forgotten by the general reader. He was known in his lifetime as a translator, and for his humorous and sometimes bawdy verse, but his friends, who included some of the most famous literary figures of the day, recognized his talent for serious poetry. The author explores the reasons for the poet's obscurity, placing him within the context of the changing literary tastes of his era. Born into a family of landed gentry, the poet enjoyed a comfortable upbringing in the English countryside, but faced financial difficulties throughout his life. Despite these challenges, he maintained a zest for life and a passion for literature. The book delves into his relationships with fellow writers, his love for his wife, and his struggles to balance his artistic pursuits with the demands of managing his estate. Through a close examination of the poet's works, including his lesser-known poems and letters, the author reveals a man of complex emotions and intellectual depth. Themes of love, loss, friendship, and the appreciation of nature are interwoven with reflections on societal expectations and the pursuit of happiness. This book offers a fresh perspective on a neglected literary figure, shedding light on the enduring power of his verse and the complexities of his character. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
