Reader's note

A fab Faber and Faber edition of A Choice of Cowper's Verse, published in 1975! William Cowper was, in every way, a paradox. His life was tragic, yet his poetry is the poetry of pleasure, of the plain, ordinary, simple pleasures which every man can enjoy. He was melancholy in disposition, and sometimes morose, yet he wrote some of the best light verse in the English language. He was constantly on the verge of insanity, yet his poetry is essentially the poetry of the sane, He was a recluse, yet he became the spokesman for a great popular religious and democratic movement. In this selection, Mr Nicholson includes examples of every aspect of Cowper's work as a poet; the superb nature description of 'The Task', the religious and autobiographical poems, the hymns, translations and the delightful verses in which he recorded the everyday happenings at his home at Olney.
