Abraham Cowley (/ ˈ k uː l i /; [1] 1618 – 28 July 1667) was an English poet and essayist born in the City of London late in 1618. He was one of the leading English poets of the 17th century, with 14 printings of his Works published between 1668 and 1721.
This book argues that Cowley's initial popularity and later fall in reputation have a similar origin: the experimental qualities, and the range, of his poetry. Cowley's works bridge disciplines (science, poetry), modes (prose, verse), and genres (lyric, ode, epic) in unexpected ways.
