Abstract
It is the paradoxical intention of this paper to grapple firmly and
yet obliquely with the issue of William Cowper's sexuality. searching
not for an identity but rather for endless possibilities of identity. By
refusing to settle for the notion that Cowper was either 'straight' or
'conventionally' queer/ gay/molly/sodomitical, a far more radical challenge
to heteronormativity presents itself when considering the life and legacy of
thi.s extraordinary and perplexing writer.
