Manuscript Verse Collectors and the Politics of Anti-Courtly Love Poetry

ISBN: 9780199559503 出版年：2009 页码：317 Eckhardt, Joshua Oxford University Press

This book analyzes the distinctive contribution to literary history of early-seventeenth-century hand-written English poetry anthologies. Compiled by manuscript verse collectors, these anthologies preserved a number of pieces by major authors of the English Renaissance, yet they tended to surround them with unprintable verses on sex and politics.
