The publication of The Broadview Anthology of Seventeenth-Century
Verse and Prose is a literary event; this comprehensive volume is
the first anthology of the period to reflect the breadth of
seventeenth-century studies in recent decades. Over one hundred
writers are included, from John Chamberlain at the beginning of the
century to Elisabeth Singer Rowe at its end. There are generous
selections from the work of all major writers, and a representation
of the work of virtually every writer of significance. The work of
women writers figures prominently, with extensive selections not
only from canonical writers such as Behn and Bradstreet, but also
from other writers (such as Katherine Philips and Margaret
Cavendish) who have been receiving considerable scholarly attention
in recent years. The anthology is broadly inclusive, with writing
from America as well as from the British Isles. Memoirs, letters,
political texts, travel writing, prophetic literature, street
ballads, and pamphlet literature are all here, as is a full
representation of the literary poetry and prose of the period,
including the poetry of Jonson; the prose of Bacon; the
metaphysical poetry of Donne, Herbert, Marvell, and others; the
lyric verse of Herrick; and substantial selections from the poetry
and prose of Milton and Dryden. (While Samson Agonistes is included
in its entirety, Milton's epic poems have been excluded, in order
to allow space for other works not so readily accessible
elsewhere.) The editors have included complete works wherever
possible. A headnote by the editors introduces each author, and
each selection has been newly annotated.
