The Winner of Sorrow
"Jane Austen adored him. William Wordsworth cherished him. William Blake illustrated his poems. He was the most famous poet of his day. But who was William Cowper?" "In The Winner of Sorrow a lost legend is brought back to life. By an act of invention, Brian Lynch rescues the memory of this forgotten poet and recreates the psychological tragedy, and the social comedy, of an eccentric genius haunted by a dark sexual secret."--BOOK JACKET.
