About the author

Samuel Daniel was born in 1562 near Taunton in Somerset to a music-master. In 1579, Daniel was admitted to Magdalen Hall (now known as Hertford College) at Oxford University, where he remained for about three years and afterwards devoted himself to the study of poetry and philosophy.

Late in life, Daniel retired to a farm called The Ridge, near Beckington, in Somerset, where he died on 14 October 1619.
