William Cowper Bücher
William Cowper war ein englischer Dichter und Hymnendichter, der die Naturpoesie des 18. Jahrhunderts durch die Darstellung des Alltagslebens und Szenen der englischen Landschaft prägte und somit zu einem Vorreiter der romantischen Dichtung wurde. Trotz seiner schweren psychischen Erkrankungen und Glaubenszweifel, die seine beliebten Kirchenlieder inspirierten, zeichnen sich seine Werke durch tiefe Spiritualität und Introspektion aus. Seine religiösen Gefühle und die Zusammenarbeit mit John Newton führten zu einigen seiner bekanntesten Gedichte, die für ihre Ehrlichkeit und einzigartige Sichtweise geschätzt werden.
