The seventeenth century saw some of the great achievements in the English language. Milton wrote Paradise Lost, Donne composed his Metaphysical verse, and Shakespeare his late Romances, not to mention the work of Dryden, Marvell, Jonson, and many others. Now, this remarkable quantity of extraordinary literature has been brought together here in one large volume. Like the previous edition, all of the best known works are present, but this new edition also responds to considerable changes in scholarship and perspective in recent years. Popular and minor poets take a place alongside their more well known peers. Alastair Fowler, the collection's distinguished editor, has included a generous portion of poetry by women, as well as a sampling of American colonial verse, while also striking a balance between Metaphysical and Jonsonian poetry.

Condizione: Gut. XLV, 831 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Among the Oxford Books of Verse, the seventeenth-century volume has a special place (and a generous extent), because of the remarkable quantity of fine verse produced during that period. For it was the age of Shakespeare, Donne, Jonson, Drayton, Herbert, Marvell, Dryden, Rochester, and many others hardly less notable. This new selection responds to considerable changes of taste since the previous Oxford anthology by H. J. C. Grierson and G. Bullough. In particular, it tries to strike a balance between Metaphysical and Jonsonian poetry, as well as to make up for earlier neglect of popular verse. It includes a generous proportion of verse by women, virtually for the first time. And it departs from its predecessor in sampling American colonial verse. All in all it offers a truer and more catholic representation of seventeenth-century poetry than any other anthology.
