Author of plays, love-lyrics, essays and, among other works, The
Civil War, the Davideis and the Pindarique Odes, Abraham Cowley
made a deep impression on seventeenth-century letters, attested by
his extravagant funeral and his burial next to Chaucer and Spenser
in Westminster Abbey. Ejected from Cambridge for his politics, he
found refuge in royalist Oxford before seeing long service as
secretary to Queen Henrietta Maria, and as a Crown agent, on the
continent. In the mid-1650s he returned to England, was imprisoned
and made an accommodation with the Cromwellian regime. This volume
of essays provides the modern critical attention Cowley's life and
writings merit.
