Negro's Complaint and Other Poems

Negro's Complaint and Other Poems is a collection by William Cowper, an English poet and hymn writer, published in the late 18th century. Cowper, a precursor to the Romantic movement, is known for his nature poetry and social advocacy, particularly against slavery. His most notable work, 'The Negro's Complaint,' aims to raise awareness of the injustices faced by enslaved people, reflecting his strong abolitionist stance. Cowper's influence extended to prominent poets such as Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Anne Bronte.
