Howell, James

    0.04 sec.

Howell, James (c. 1594-1666)

Welsh author. His works include Dodona's Grove 1640, a political allegory; Instructions for Foreign Travel 1642; and the work on which his reputation rests, Epistolae Ho-Elianae, or Familiar Letters 1655. Addressed to imaginary correspondents and mostly written during his imprisonment for royalist sympathies, it is one of the most entertaining books of its time.

Howell was educated at Oxford, and travelled extensively on the Continent. He was imprisoned 1643-51.
