Dive into the lives of four influential figures from the 16th and 17th century in Izaak Waltons captivating collection of biographies, Lives of John Donne, Henry Wotton, Richard Hooker, George Herbert, &C. Get to know the multifaceted personas of English author and diplomat Sir Henry Wotton, Anglican priest and theologian Richard Hooker, Welsh-born poet and priest George Herbert, and the celebrated metaphysical poet John Donne. Waltons intimate and detailed portrayal of these characters, stemming from his own personal acquaintances and shared love of angling, paints complete and balanced character portraits.
