The essays delve into various aspects of literature, particularly focusing on notable poets and authors, such as William Cowper and John Greenleaf Whittier, exploring their themes, styles, and impacts on literature. More's work engages with the intricacies of literary criticism while reflecting on the human experiences that inspire such writing. The opening of this collection starts with a discussion of William Cowper's letters and their significance, particularly emphasizing the desire for a new edition that intertwines his correspondence with his poetry. More examines Cowper's life, highlighting his struggles with mental health and his profound connection to his rural surroundings, which greatly influenced his writing. The detailed narrative not only outlines Cowper's background and literary contributions but also critiques the prevailing literary tastes of his time, setting a reflective tone for the essays that follow. Overall, the beginning establishes an introspective analysis that will characterize the series, revealing how personal experiences shape the fabric of literary expression.
