More about the book
The life of a 17th-century English poet unfolds through his journey from a jeweler's apprentice to a vicar in Devon, where he crafted much of his notable work. His refusal to pledge allegiance during the English Civil War led to a loss of position, forcing him to rely on friends in London while preparing his lyrical poems for publication. His poetry explores themes of English rural life, village traditions, and classical and Christian influences, often celebrating relationships with friends and women.
