In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors
offer insights into their own work as well as providing an
accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest
poets of our literature. Robert Herrick was born in London, in
1591, the seventh child of a prosperous goldsmith. He graduated
from St. John's College, Cambridge in 1617, and became a Cavalier
poet in the mould of Ben Jonson, mixing in literary circles in
London. He was ordained in 1623 and subsequently appointed by
Charles I to the living of Dean Prior in Devon, where he lived in
the reluctant seclusion of country life and wrote some of his best
work. In 1647, under the Commonwealth, Herrick was expelled from
the priory and returned to London, where he published his major
work, Hesperides, the following year. With the restoration of
Charles II in 1660 he was returned to Devon and died a bachelor in
1674.
