Walton, Izaak (1593–1683), English author. He retired from business in 1644 and spent most of the rest of his life in the households of eminent ecclesiastics such as G. Morley, whose Steward he was. His
Compleat Angler (1653) combines being a practical handbook with an idealized picture of country life. Though his Lives of J.
Donne (1640), H. Wotton (1651), R.
Hooker (1665), G.
Herbert (1670), and R.
Sanderson (1678) have been influential as Anglican hagiography, it is clear that he sometimes conflated, transposed, and invented speeches and events.
