Book Synopsis The Poetry of Matthew Prior by : Hugh Parry
Download or read book The Poetry of Matthew Prior written by Hugh Parry and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was a diplomat who worked in Holland and France and was involved in political negotiations at the highest level. He was also a poet, however, and was much appreciated by his contemporaries for his craftsmanship, but above all for his entertainment value. His witty and sometimes cynical treatment of a wide range of subjects lost favour in the 19th century, and this selection from both his published and unpublished work aims to reintroduce to the modern reader this engaging man and writer.

Download or read book Eighteenth Century English Poetry written by Nalini Jain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of 18th-century English poetry is extensively annotated for a new generation of readers. It combines the scope of a period anthology with the detailed annotations of an authoritative single-author edition. Selected poets include John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, John Dryden, Jonathan Swift, Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea, Joseph Addison, Alexander Pope and William Cowper. The guiding principle of the annotation is one of thoroughness: the editors concentrate on works where the meanings have changed, on primary allusions and on relevant details of social and political history.

Book Synopsis Matthew Prior by : L. G. Wickham Legg
Download or read book Matthew Prior written by L. G. Wickham Legg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matthew Prior: A Study of His Public Career and Correspondence This sketch Matthew Prior's public life has been put together under many difficulties. It owes its existence to a suggestion put forward by Professor Firth, to whom I take this opportunity of tendering my thanks for much advice and encouragement. Arrangements had been made for its publication in a slightly larger form in 1915, but the outbreak of war brought all work upon it to a close, and it is now only possible to put to it a few finishing touches. After so great an interval it is not easy to pick up threads dropped six years ago, and the book must therefore go forth as it stands. As a writer of light verse, Prior stands second to none in the Augustan age of English literature, but it is only recently that attention has been drawn to him as a writer of prose of unusual excellence. The discoveries made by Mr Waller at Longleat, and the scattered fragments of his voluminous correspondence which have been printed in the Historical MSS. Commission reports and in private collections have brought this aspect of Prior into greater prominence, and the printed material has been fully used by Mr Bickley in his excellent Life of Matthew Prior. But in addition to printed sources, there are masses of letters, of varying value, both in the Record Office and in private hands and from these it is possible to reconstruct in detail and to value the work done by Prior in the diplomatic service. It is true that his influence on public affairs may not have been great, and it is probable that his enemies exaggerated it, but his papers enable us to judge some of the matters of hottest dispute in the party politics of the first quarter of the eighteenth century, and to judge the responsibility of the accused in the charges brought by the Whigs against the Tory ministry of Harley and St John.

Book Synopsis English Poetry of the Eighteenth Century, 1700-1789 by : David Fairer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the canon of eighteenth-century poetry has greatly expanded to include women poets, labouring-class and provincial poets, and many previously unheard voices. Fairer’s book takes up the challenge this ought to pose to our traditional understanding of the subject. This book seeks to question some of the structures, categories, and labels that have given the age its reassuring shape in literary history. In doing so Fairer offers a fresh and detailed look at a wide range of material.
