Summary
Brown's position is that Gay, Young, Johnson, Churchill, Goldsmith, Cowper, and Crabbe contributed in a unique way to the development of the heroic couplet. His analysis of the precise ways in which these later masters contributed to the tradition demonstrates the vitality of the heroic couplet.
