First published in 1988, this study explains how certain genres created by Classical poets were adapted and sometimes transformed by the poets of the modern world, beginning with the Tudor poets’ rediscovery of the Classical heritage. Most of the long-lived poetic genres are discussed, from familiar examples like the hymn, elegy and eulogy, to less familiar topics such as the recusatio (refusal to write certain kinds of poems), or formal structures such as priamel. By combining criticism with literary history, the author explores the degree to which certain poets were consciously imitating models, and demonstrates how various generic forms reflect the literary concerns of individual poets as well as the general concerns of their age. The poets discussed range over the whole of Graeco-Roman antiquity, and in English from Wyatt to Yeats and Auden. A detailed and fascinating title, this study will appeal to teachers and students of both English and Classical literature.

Excerpt from A Key to Modern British Poetry This book, now divided for the sake of convenience into essays, is not one which I would have written for choice. It was composed and delivered as a series of lectures on modern poetry during the course of my duties as a lecturer in English Literature attached to the British Council in Argentina during 1948. The present text, which has hardly been altered at all, is what typographers would call a 'mock-up' for the lectures which were designed to appeal to an audience of graduate teachers in English, gathered from the various universities of Argentina.

The Oxford History of Poetry in English is designed to offer a fresh, multi-voiced, and comprehensive analysis of 'poetry': from Anglo-Saxon culture through contemporary British, Irish, American, and Global culture, including English, Scottish, and Welsh poetry, Anglo-American colonial and post-colonial poetry, and poetry in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, India, Africa, Asia, and other international locales. The series both synthesises existing scholarship and presents cutting-edge research, employing a global team of expert contributors for each of the volumes. Sixteenth-Century British Poetry features a history of the birth moment of modern 'English' poetry in greater detail than previous studies. It examines the literary transitions, institutional contexts, artistic practices, and literary genres within which poets compose their works. Each chapter combines an orientation to its topic and a contribution to the field. Specifically, the volume introduces a narrative about the advent of modern English poetry from Skelton to Spenser, attending to the events that underwrite the poets' achievements: Humanism; Reformation; monarchism and republicanism; colonization; print and manuscript; theatre; science; and companionate marriage. Featured are metre and form, figuration and allusiveness, and literary career, as well as a wide range of poets, from Wyatt, Surrey, and Isabella Whitney to Ralegh, Drayton, and Mary Herbert. Major works discussed include Sidney's Astrophil and Stella, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Marlowe's Hero and Leander, and Shakespeare's Sonnets.

Excerpt from Pearl, a Fourteenth-Century Poem: Rendered Into Modern English Professor Palgrave speaks of Pearl as "perhaps the most purely and ideally perfect specimen of our elder poetry which good fortune has left us"; and few who have studied it carefully will dissent from his verdict. But the language of the poem is as much more difficult than Chaucer's, as Chaucer's is than Spenser's; and even a willing student can scarcely read the original without much wearisome toil. The object of this little book is to supply the general reader with as close a version as possible in the metre of the original; and to tempt some readers, perhaps, to study the difficult Middle English. Of the poet we know nothing but that he must almost certainly have been a contemporary of Chaucer, and the author of three other remarkable poems preserved in the same unique manuscript - Cleanness, Patience, and Sir Gamayne and the Green Knight.

Excerpt from Poetry and Prose: Being Essays on Modern English Poetry This little book is an attempt to make a little clearer what every one feels about poetry. It is an attempt pursued in a number of essays upon themes so familiar that in writing upon them I have the advantage of touching directly upon the actual poetical experience of almost every reader. There is the further personal advantage that in dealing with a body of poetry so often analysed, the liability to individual caprice is, at least in part, eliminated.

Excerpt from Passages From Modern English Poets For what hath the child of the desert to dread, Waiting up his own mountains that far - beaming head Or borne like a whirlwind down on the vale 2 Hail I king of the wild and the beautiful, hail I Hail, idol divine I whom Nature hath borne O'er a hundred hill-tops since the mists of the mom Whom the pilgrim, lone wandering on mountain and moor, AS the vision glides by him may blameless adore For the joy of the happy, the strength Of the free, Are spread in a garment of glory o'er thee. Up I up to yon cliff, like a king to his throne, O'er the black silent forest piled lofty and lone A throne which the eagle is glad to resign Unto footsteps so fleet and so fearless as thine. There the bright heather springs up in love of thy breast, the clouds in the depth of the sky are at rest, And the race of the wild winds is o'er on the hill I In the hush Of the mountains ye antlers lie still I Though your branches now toss In the storm of delight, Like the arms of the pine on yon shelterless height, One moment, thou bright apparition, delay, Then melt o'er the crags like the sun from the day. Aloft on the weather-gleam, scorning the earth, The wild Spirit hung in majestical mirth In dalliance with danger be bounded in bliss, O'er the fathomless gloom of each moaning abyss O'er the grim rocks careering with prosperous motion, Like a ship by herself in full sail o'er the ocean Thence proudly he turned ere he sank to the dell, And shook from his forehead a haughty farewell 5 While his horns in a crescent of radiance shone, Like a flag burning bright when the vessel is gone. The ship of the desert has passed on the wind, And left the dark ocean of mountains behind But my spirit will travel wherever she flee, And behold her in pomp o'er the rim of the sea.
