Book Description
Though little known today, the Restoration era poet Edmund Waller was a pivotal figure of the Augustan age of English literature. Rejecting the dense intellectual verse of Metaphysical poetry, Waller’s poems are known for their generalising statement, easy associative development and urbane social comment. With his emphasis on definitive phrasing through inversion and balance, he prepared the way for the emergence of the heroic couplet, which would become the dominant form of English poetry at the close of the seventeenth century. Alexander Pope was heavily influenced by his verses and John Dryden repeatedly praised Waller’s 'sweetness', describing him as 'the father of our English numbers'. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Waller’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.
