Izaak Walton's Lives of John Donne, Henry Wotton, Richard Hooker, and George Herbert is a collection of biographies written by the English author and biographer Izaak Walton. First published in 1888, the book contains four separate biographies that highlight the lives and works of four prominent figures in English literature and religion from the 16th and 17th centuries. The first biography is of John Donne, a famous English poet and cleric who lived from 1572 to 1631. Walton's biography explores Donne's life, his conversion to Anglicanism, and his literary works, including his poetry and sermons. The second biography focuses on Henry Wotton, an English diplomat and writer who lived from 1568 to 1639. Walton's biography delves into Wotton's life and career as a diplomat, his literary works, and his friendships with other notable figures of his time. The third biography is of Richard Hooker, an English theologian and philosopher who lived from 1554 to 1600. Walton's biography examines Hooker's life, his religious and philosophical beliefs, and his most famous work, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. The final biography is of George Herbert, an English poet and priest who lived from 1593 to 1633. Walton's biography explores Herbert's life, his religious beliefs, and his poetry, including his most famous work, The Temple. Overall, Izaak Walton's Lives of John Donne, Henry Wotton, Richard Hooker, and George Herbert provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of four prominent figures in English literature and religion during the 16th and 17th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
