Ebenezer Cooke
Ebenezer Cooke
Ebenezer Cooke was an American poet. Probably born in London, he became a lawyer in Maryland, then a British colony, where he wrote a number of poems including one which some scholars consider the first American satire: "The Sotweed Factor, or A Voyage to Maryland, A Satyr" (1708). He was fictionalized by John Barth as the comically innocent protagonist of The Sot-Weed Factor, a novel in which a series of fantastic misadventures leads Cooke to write his poem.
