Izaak Walton was a 17^th-century author best known for his work on fishing, ‘The Compleat Angler’. However, Walton also wrote a series of biographical ‘lives’ of notable English figures. These short sketches were on politicians, priests, and poets alike – Henry Wotton, John Donne, Richard Hooker, and George Herbert.
