Özet

English poetry in the first half of the seventeenth century is an outstandingly rich and varied body of verse, which can be understood and appreciated more fully when set in its cultural and ideological context. This student Companion, consisting of fourteen new introductory essays by scholars of international standing, informs and illuminates the poetry by providing close reading of texts and an exploration of their background. There are individual studies of Donne, Jonson, Herrick, Herbert, Carew, Suckling, Lovelace, Milton, Crashaw, Vaughan and Marvell. More general essays describe the political and religious context of the poetry, explore its gender politics, explain the material circumstances of its production and circulation, trace its larger role in the development of genre and tradition, and relate it to contemporary rhetorical expectation. Overall the Companion provides an indispensable guide to the texts and contexts of early-seventeenth-century English poetry.

Like other volumes of similar titles, this one is superbly envisioned and carried out in fresh, important, useful essays. In the opening set of contextual studies, the topics--pressures on the verse of religion and politics, of gender politics, the social circumstances of manuscript and print dissemination, matters of genre theory and of rhetoric--are handled by scholars who have done substantial and groundbreaking work. D. Loewenstein, E. Hobby, A. Marotti, A. Fowler, and B. Vickers--write accessibly and clearly about issues that are being opened or reexamined in current scholarship. These essays explore questions that vibrantly matter in 17th-century verse; that all closely discuss specific poems as well as large-scale issues makes them especially useful and credible. Similar praise is due the essays on individual poets (Donne, Jonson, Herrick, Herbert, Carew-Suckling-Lovelace, early Milton, Crashaw, Vaughan, Marvell). There is no bad work here: All the individual studies have value as "companions" to new readers of the poetry, yet are sophisticated and critically shrewd inquiries. (There are problems: many lapses in proofreading, and some plain boners, as in Cromwell's "refusal not to be crowned," or attribution of Satan's first words in Paradise Lost to Beelzebub; a second printing ought to deal with these). The bibliographies are particularly good. No other current volume does the work of this one: essential; highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through faculty.
