Abstract

The purpose of this work is to bring to the reader's knowledge one of the greatest Seventeenth Century poets. An intense treatment would, however, necessitate the writing of volumes for, although Abraham Cowley is now considered by modern critics an unreadable poets, his works are numerous and contain many valuable ideals. To his contemporaries Cowley ranked supreme. John Milton's wife is said to have reported that her husband's favorite English poets were Spenser, Shakespeare, and Cowley. While Dryden declared to one of his associates, "His authority is almost sacred to me."
