William Cowper (1731-1800)
View through CrossRef
Abstract
William Cowper suffered from acute depression as well as recurring attacks of mental illness, and attempted suicide several times. He felt isolated and spurned by providence-a theme that appears in his major works, such as “The Castaway” (1803). A bright spot in his life was his friendship with Mary Unwin. They became engaged, but his recurring mental illness and her poor health prevented the marriage from taking place. Cowper’s works, including The Task (1785), were canonical during the Romantic era.
