A fictional imagining of the life of poet William Cowper - best known as the precursor to Romantics like Wordsworth and Burns - The Winner of Sorrow brings to life the mind and times of an 18th century poet at the end of his life and descending into mental illness. Lynch, once named by Samuel Beckett as an exceptional talent, manages to avoid being sentimental or precious about the subject at hand, instead achieving an austere yet blackly comic feat of characterisation and attention to detail.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Afictional imagining of the gentle but troubled zealot William Cowper—best known as a precursor to Romantics such as Wordsworth and Burns—Brian Lynch's The Winner of Sorrow brings to life the mind and times of an eighteenth-century poet. Intense and exhilerating, this is literary fiction at its finest—the reader will be hard-pressed not to rush ahead to see what happens next. Yet you'll want to savor every word as Lynch traces Cowper's tragic descent into madness, which is presented matter-of-factly so that the novel is not sentimental but austere, not precious but serious, and yet, remarkably, lively, sensuous, and blackly comic.
