Autorenporträt
Izaak Walton was an English writer known for his contributions to both literature and biography. He is most celebrated for The Compleat Angler, a pastoral work that blends prose and verse to explore the philosophy and pleasures of fishing, reflecting his deep appreciation for nature, simplicity, and spiritual reflection. In addition to his literary work, he was a biographer of notable figures, authoring insightful and affectionate accounts of several prominent contemporaries, including his close friend John Donne. These biographies were later compiled under the title Walton's Lives, highlighting his skill in portraying the personal and moral character of his subjects. Born in Stafford in 1593, Walton lived through a period of significant religious and political change in England, which subtly influenced his work. He spent his later years in Winchester, where he was laid to rest in Winchester Cathedral. Walton's legacy endures for his gentle prose, humanistic values, and the serene, contemplative world he created in his writings.
