Autorenporträt
William Cowper (1731-1800) was an English poet and hymnodist, renowned for his heartfelt and often melancholic poetry. Born in Hertfordshire, Cowper struggled with periods of deep depression throughout his life, which profoundly shaped his work. His poems explore themes of nature, personal sorrow, faith, and social injustice, with works like The Task and The Castaway earning him a prominent place in the literary canon. A strong advocate for the abolition of slavery, Cowper also wrote the famous anti-slavery poem The Negro's Complaint. His deeply personal style and moral convictions have made him a beloved figure in English literature, influencing later Romantic poets and hymn writers alike.
