One of the most influential poets of the Elizabethan era, Daniel wrote in a range of genres, excelling in the composition of sonnets, epic poetry, essays, and plays. His influence reached his contemporaries, including Shakespeare, and extended far beyond his own period to Coleridge, Wordsworth, and even garnered the praise of C.S. Lewis. His early association with translator John Florio, whom Daniel encountered at Oxford, led the poet to pen laudatory verse published in the first English edition of Montaigne's Essays.
