William Cowper

    William Cowper byl anglický básník a autor hymnů, jehož dílo se stalo jedním z pilířů poezie 18. století. Proslul svým zobrazením každodenního života a anglické krajiny, čímž se stal předvojem romantismu. Navzdory svým vnitřním bojům s duševní chorobou a náboženskými pochybnostmi, které se promítly do jeho zbožňovaných hymnů, se jeho poezie vyznačuje hlubokou zbožností a introspekcí, často ve spolupráci s Johnem Newtonem.
