Summary

The previous "Oxford Book of Sixteenth-Century Verse", published in 1932, was biased towards the lyric and pastoral. This new selection does full justice to the great variety of poetic forms, including satirical, personal, topical and sometimes "difficult" poems.

The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse Summary

The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse by Emrys Jones

In the realms of poetry, the 16th century began with Skelton echoing Chaucer and ended with social satires in heroic couplets that anticipated Dryden and Pope. This volume explores the full richness and diversity of Tudor poetry, from pastorals to ballads, lyrics to grotesqueries. Emrys Jones has included material never previously anthologized, translations that amount to original poems in themselves, and the masterworks of the poets who made this one of the greatest periods in English literature: Wyatt, Spenser, Lyly, Sidney, Ralegh, Harington, Shakespeare, Campion, Nashe, Donne, Marston and Dekker.

"This is a marvelous approach to a delightfully disorderly body of verse."--Byron Nelson, West Virginia University
