CONCLUSIONS 90 APPENDIX 97 BIBLIOGRAPHY ...... 108 ill CHAPTER I THE CLASSICAL BACKGROUND In the late sixteenth century, the classical genre of marriage songs called epithalamia-'- appeared In England. A few fine poems in this tradition were written by some of the major English poets: Sidney, Spenser, Donne, Jonson, and Herrick. The genre was important for only three decades in England before it fell into the hands of minor poets and literary hacks. When the English Renaissance poets took up the epithalamic genre, it had a two-thousand year old tradition behind it, a tradition which began in Greece, flourished for a time in Rome, then disappeared until the Renaissance, when epithalamla were written in Italian, French, Spanish, Latin, and English poetry. After the Renaissance, the classical tradition lost its influence on English epithalamia, and not until the twentieth century have major English poets written marriage songs patterned on the classical models. ^To avoid confusion which might arise from the several forms of this word ending in -urn, -a, -ie, -ies, -on, and -ons, the Latin forms, epithalamium and epithalamla, will be used throughout this thesis except in quotations and titles where the original spelling will be raaintained.

  • Looking for Lovelace: Identity, Style and Inheritance in the Poetry of the Interregnum
    Looking for Lovelace: Identity, Style and Inheritance in the Poetry of the Interregnum Thesis Submitted by Dosia Reichardt, BA (Hons) James Cook, BA York in September 2003 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Humanities Faculty of Arts, Education and Social Sciences James Cook University Abstract This thesis discusses the work of the Cavalier poet Richard Lovelace in two contexts in particular: first, within the political and cultural constraints operating during the period of the English Civil War and the Interregnum; second, against the background provided by the work of contemporary, often obscure, poets whose aesthetic and political attitudes help illuminate Lovelace’s own. The study examines a number of apparent paradoxes in the work and status of poets in Lovelace’s milieu. The desire to fashion an individual and lasting literary persona in the mould of Ben Jonson, for example, conflicts with the practice of circulating essentially un-authored lyrics within an educated and exclusive male coterie. Lovelace’s amatory verse is viewed through the prism of contemporary attitudes towards female constancy, but also through seventeenth-century poets’ habitual borrowings from Latin and Greek sources. Lovelace’s attempt at a lengthy pastoral partakes of the cultural poetics of nostalgia for a vanished Court and the genres associated with it. His interest in music and the fine arts inspires many poems which comment on contemporary politics while participating in an immemorial debate about art and artificiality versus nature. His prison and drinking songs have earned him a place in anthologies of poetry as a minor classic, but they also crystallize a conjunction of genres peculiar to the years between 1640 and 1660.

  • John Donne and the Conway Papers a Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century
    John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century Daniel Starza Smith University College London Supervised by Prof. H. R. Woudhuysen and Dr. Alison Shell ii John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century This thesis investigates a seventeenth-century manuscript archive, the Conway Papers, in order to explain the relationship between the archive’s owners and John Donne, the foremost manuscript poet of the century. An evaluation of Donne’s legacy as a writer and thinker requires an understanding of both his medium of publication and the collectors and agents who acquired and circulated his work. The Conway Papers were owned by Edward, first Viscount Conway, Secretary of State to James I and Charles I, and Conway’s son. Both men were also significant collectors of printed books. The archive as it survives, mainly in the British Library and National Archives, includes around 300 literary manuscripts ranging from court entertainments to bawdy ballads. This thesis fully evaluates the collection as a whole for the first time, including its complex history. I ask three principal questions: what the Conway Papers are and how they were amassed; how the archive came to contain poetry and drama by Donne, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton and others; and what the significance of this fact is, both in terms of seventeenth-century theories about politics, patronage and society, and modern critical and historical interpretations. These questions cast new light on the early transmission of Donne’s verse, especially his Satires and verse epistles.

  • Biography John Suckling
    Biography John Suckling A popular label for many poets in seventeenth-century Britain has been "Cavalier," and the person who usually comes first to mind is Sir John Suckling. The classification implies an allegiance to Charles I in his political and military battles against various Parliamentarian or religious groups during the later 1620s through his execution on 30 January 1649. Included thus are the poets Thomas Carew, Richard Lovelace, Suckling, and Edmund Waller. "Cavalier" also implies that these poets were of a gentlemanly social class, that they bore arms and indeed rode horses in battle when the civil wars raged from 1641 to 1648 (cavalier derives from the French word for horse, cheval), and that they were carefree gallants. Suckling, at least, was of the aristocratic class and often a part of the courtly world of the précieuse life ushered in by Charles's queen, Henrietta Maria, and her French retinue; he was a soldier and was involved in political intrigue; and he was notorious as a gambler and for his conquests of women. A poem like "A Soldier" reflects these matters and at the same time employs the punning wit associated with the poetic group: I am a man of war and might, And know thus much, that I can fight, Whether I am i'th' wrong or right, devoutly. No woman under heaven I fear, New Oaths I can exactly swear, And forty Healths my brain will bear most stoutly. I cannot speak, but I can doe As much as any of our crew; And if you doubt it, some of you may prove me.

  • Critical Survey of Poetry: Topical Essays
    More Critical Survey of Poetry: Topical Essays TABLE OF CONTENTS Metaphysical Poets Introduction History of the concept by John R. Holmes Characteristics Metaphysical conceits Introduction Universal analogy Marinismo and Gongorismo In the eighteenth century, the term “Metaphysical poets” was coined to refer to Strong lines certain writers, primarily of religious verse, of the late sixteenth and early Doctrine in metaphysical verse seventeenth centuries who shared similar characteristics. Although scholars Bibliography. have suggested many alternative names (Louis Martz called their works the poetry of meditation, and Mario DiCesare’s anthology spoke simply of seventeenth century religious poets), the term “Metaphysical poets” remained useful to literary historians for more than two hundred years. The Metaphysicals were never a self-conscious group, for the most part having limited or no contact with one another—even though the literary world of London at the time was quite small. The list of who is considered a Metaphysical poet has fluctuated through changes in fashion and, of course, in the very definition of Metaphysical verse. Prominent names in most discussions of Metaphysical poetry include John Donne (1572-1631), George Herbert (1593-1633), Andrew Marvell (1621-1678), Thomas Traherne (c. 1637- 1674), Henry Vaughan (1622-1695), Richard Crashaw (c. 1612-1649), Robert Southwell (c. 1561-1595), Abraham Cowley (1618-1667), Sir William Davenant (1606-1668), Sir John Suckling (1609-1642), and Thomas Carew (1594-1640).

  • Literary Analysis of Sir John Suckling's Poems, 'Sonnet
    EN3JD 20012540 Autumn Assessed Essay ! This essay intends to undertake the literary analysis of Sir John Suckling’s poems, ‘Sonnet: Of thee (kind boy)’ and ‘Love’s Clock’, and Robert Herrick’s, ‘The Eye’. Paying particular attention to some of the overriding themes of each piece, where necessary this essay will also consider the polit- ical and historical contexts under which the texts were written and consider to what extent these ef- fected the texts. However, the main focus of this essay will be to consider these works as part of a wider genre and examine some of the contrasts and similarities between Sir John Suckling and Robert Herrick. When approaching both poets it is often commonplace to read their works under the ‘Cava- lier’ label. Therefore, a solid starting point for the examination of these three texts is to first consid- er the role of the Cavalier as poet, and the Cavalier as a literary genre. Suckling is often regarded as being firmly part of this group, that commonly includes poets such as Thomas Carew, Lord Herbert, Richard Lovelace. But to read a Cavalier poet is to not only acknowledge a political stance, indeed a deeply ‘Royalist’ position during the English Civil Wars, it is to also recognise a kind of literary culture and attitude in itself. Robin Skelton puts forth a brief description of the Cavalier attitude, “ the sense that they distrust the over-earnest, the too intense”1. This is a helpful analysis that be- comes useful when assessing the tone of some of the mentioned works, but when examining the significance of particular characteristics of the writers’ poetic techniques it is essential to consider some of the other overriding influences that impacted their style.
