Legal Studies at Middle Temple
Poet involved
What happened
Following his departure from Oxford, Carew pursued legal studies at the Middle Temple in London around 1610. However, he found the legal profession unappealing compared to the vibrant literary scene. This decision to abandon law for poetry marked a significant turning point in his life, steering him towards a career in literature.
Literary impact
Carew's rejection of a legal career in favor of poetry allowed him to immerse himself in the literary culture of early Stuart England. This shift enabled him to develop his unique voice and style, which would later resonate with themes of love and courtly life in his poetry.
