Seventeenth-Century Lyrics is a comprehensive anthology that brings together the rich and diverse poetic output of one of England's most creative centuries. Edited with scholarly care by Alexander Corbin Judson, this collection provides an expansive look at the lyric form as it evolved through eras of significant political and religious transformation. From the intricate conceits and intellectual rigor of the Metaphysical poets to the polished, gallant strains of the Cavalier school, the volume captures the full spectrum of seventeenth-century expression.
The collection features works by masters of the genre, including John Donne, Ben Jonson, Robert Herrick, George Herbert, and Andrew Marvell, among many others. These poems explore enduring themes of love, mortality, spiritual devotion, and the beauty of the natural world with wit and emotional depth. By assembling these verses, the work offers readers a clear view of the stylistic shifts and thematic preoccupations that defined the age. Seventeenth-Century Lyrics remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern English poetry and the historical context of these timeless verses.
