Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first full-length biography of Matthew Prior, an English poet and diplomat whose humble origins belie the significance of his achievements and literary skill. Born in 1664, Prior's career began humbly in his uncle's tavern where he impressed the Earl of Dorset with his literary talent. Through Dorset's patronage, Prior attended Westminster School and then St. John's College, Cambridge, where he honed his poetic skills. This biography provides a detailed account of Prior's life, his works, and his political career, which included a significant role in the Treaty of Ryswick. The author examines the depth and range of Prior's writing, his complex personality, and his enduring legacy as both a poet and a statesman. This book sheds new light on Prior's life and work, offering a fresh perspective on his contributions to English literature and diplomacy.
