Introduction to the Compleat Angler
To write on Walton is, indeed, to hold a candle to the sun. The editor has been content to give a summary of the chief or rather the only known, events in Walton’s long life, adding a notice of his character as displayed in his Biographies and in The Compleat Angler, with comments on the ancient and modern practice of fishing, illustrated by passages from Walton’s foregoers and contemporaries.
This work is devoted to the life of an English writer Izaak Walton his biographical writing and a 1653 work “The Compleat Angler.”
