"The Task and Other Poems" is a collection of poems written by William Cowper, an English poet and hymnodist of the 18th century. William Cowper (1731–1800) was known for his reflective and contemplative poetry, as well as his contributions to the Olney Hymns. Main Poem: : "The Task" is a significant long poem within this collection. It is one of Cowper's most famous works and is often regarded as a landmark in the development of 18th-century poetry. Reflective and Descriptive Poetry: Cowper's poetry is characterized by its introspective and descriptive nature. "The Task" is particularly known for its exploration of nature, everyday life, and the poet's personal reflections. Hymns and Religious Themes: In addition to his secular poetry, Cowper collaborated with John Newton on the Olney Hymns, contributing several hymns that became widely known in Christian worship. Mental Health Themes: Cowper's life was marked by struggles with mental health, and his poetry often reflects his battles with depression and a deep sense of religious introspection. Popularity: Cowper's poetry gained popularity not only for its literary merit but also for its accessibility and emotional resonance.

Having previously suffered neglect as a result of Pope's dominance of the period, William Cowper (1731-1800) has now become a far more important figure in eighteenth-century literature. Following the successful format of the series, Professor Sambrook's edition consists of a comprehensive, contextual editor's introduction together with substantial annotation on the page. The Task (1785) is the principal text discussed together with a selection of Cowper's other poems which cover a wide range of his subjects, moods and styles.

Excerpt from The Task: And Other Poems; Of Inner Temple The accompanying volume is, however, devoted to selec tions from his poetry, excluding any of his translations. His Homer, as Matthew Arnold has shown, has little merit, and the translations from Madame Guyon and Vincent Bourne are hardly of enough weight to appear in a limited choice of his poems. The guiding principle in making up the present volume was to give the pupil a view of the true Cowper, and Cowper at his best. Some minor poems have been omitted of equal merit with those given. But they only exhibit the same type of poetic execution. One reason for study of Cowper is found in his position as forerunner of the change in English poetry, imperfectly defined often as a change from the Classical to the Romantic School. Signs that the change was coming had indeed appeared long before Cowper sang, in Thompson's Seasons and the Odes of Collins and Gray. But not till Cowper and Burns were heard was it seen that the change had come, and Cowper had great part in bringing it on. Words worth was a far greater poet than Cowper. But Cowper heralded Wordsworth, not only in choice of poetic material, but also in the poetic treatment of Nature and Man. What Wordsworth found in the beautiful lake region, Cowper found before him in Olney, and 'along the banks of slow winding Ouse.
