William Drummond of Hawthornden was the first notable poet in Scotland to write in English, as well as the first to use the canzone, a medieval Italian metrical form in English verse. He was a cultured and detached man of means, who became close friends with the poet Michael Drayton and the playwright Ben Jonson. He also wrote one of the most celebrated prose essays of the seventeenth century, 'A Cypresse Grove', serving as a compelling meditation on death and mutability. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature's finest poets, with superior formatting.
