As the twelve original essays collected in this volume
demonstrate, to study the wit of seventeenth-century poetry is
necessarily to address concerns at the very heart of the period's
shifting literary culture. It is a topic that raises persistent
questions of thematics and authorial intent, even as it
interrogates a wide spectrum of cultural practices. These essays by
some of the most renowned scholars in seventeenth-century studies
illuminate important authors and engage issues of politics and
religion, of secular and sacred love, of literary theory and poetic
technique, of gender relations and historical consciousness, of
literary history and social change, as well as larger concerns of
literary production and smaller ones of local effects.
Collectively, they illustrate the vitality of the topic, both in
its own right and as a means of understanding the complexity and
range of seventeenth-century English poetry.
