By examining the poetic techniques and thematic concerns of Waller, Milton, and Cowley, Johnson offers readers a deeper understanding of the evolution of poetry in England. Samuel Johnson, a renowned 18th-century writer and lexicographer, was uniquely positioned to undertake the task of reviewing the lives of these poets.
