Cotton, Charles, 1630–87, English author. He is chiefly remembered for his contribution to his friend Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler (5th ed. 1676). His pleasant, unaffected verse includes “An Ode to Winter” and “The Retirement.” He also wrote burlesques of Vergil (1664) and Lucian (1665) and a translation of Montaigne's Essays (1685–86).
