About this book

"Waltoniana: Inedited Remains in Verse and Prose of Izaak Walton" by Izaak Walton is a collection of literary works, including both verse and prose, that was compiled and published in the late 19th century. More specifically, it was published in 1878 as a supplementary collection to Walton's well-known writings, particularly "The Complete Angler." The book likely reflects themes such as friendship, nature, and the piety characteristic of Walton’s other works, offering readers insights into his lesser-known writings that span a period of about fifty years of his literary life. The content of "Waltoniana" showcases a variety of pieces that include elegies, prefaces, dedications, and letters, predominantly written during the 17th century. The collection begins with "An Elegie upon Dr. Donne," which mourns the death of the influential poet and cleric, John Donne, reflecting Walton's deep affection for his contemporaries and friends. The subsequent works contain verses celebrating notable individuals and meditating on themes of love, loss, and virtue. Walton's gentle and reflective style permeates all pieces, revealing a thoughtful mind engaged with the literary and spiritual issues of his time. Through these writings, readers gain a deeper understanding of Walton not just as an author of angling literature, but as a versatile writer steeped in the cultural currents of his era.
