Edmund Waller (born the March 3rd 1606 - died the October 21st 1687) is a Poète English of the end of the 17th century. Its Poème S is characteristic of poetry courtesan of the Littérature of the English Restoration. He was the poet courtier more in sight at the time of Charles II of England, although John Dryden has had for summer more appointed by the posterity.
The style of Waller, formerly admired until excess, since lost its popularity, except perhaps for some poems such as Go, lovely Rose . Missing itself of a certain imagination, it was posted in foreground in the reaction against the evolution of the anglophone poetry, which it judged more and more forces and “sufficient”.
Waller is regarded by certain as the father of the traditional Distique of inspiration in English, a title however seeming to have to return to Geoffrey Chaucer. It is nevertheless an undeniable precursor of the " distich héroïque" , theorized and improved shortly after by John Dryden and Alexander Pope.
