William Cowper was an eighteenth- century Evangelical poet and translator, renowned for his celebrated gifts and genius. He is considered one of the most skilful poets and hymn- writers that England has ever produced. Although highly-acclaimed for his poetry in literary and religious circles, the difficult life and deep faith of Cowper have frequently been misunderstood and misinterpreted. In this volume, Dr. George Ella takes a fresh look at the poet and shows how God's stamp thoroughly penetrated Cowper's verse. From the themes, inspiration and theology of his poetry, Dr. Ella shows how that stamp extended throughout Cowper's entire life and even his periods of depression. With his scholarly analysis and theological understanding of Cowper, Dr. Ella paints a beautiful portrait of the man, his God and the depths of Cowper's literary gifts.
