The new Oxford book of seventeenth century verse /

The new Oxford book of seventeenth century verse / edited by Alastair Fowler - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2002 - 880 p. ; 20 cm - Oxford books of verse .

This anthology includes generous selections from the work of all the century's major poets, notably Donne, Jonson, Milton, Drayton, Herbert, Marvell, and Dryden. It strikes a balance between Metaphysical wit and intellect and Jonsonian simplicity, while also accommodating hitherto neglected popular verse. The result is a truer, more catholic representation of seventeenth-century verse than any previous anthology.
