This revisionist study of Restoration literature and culture
demonstrates how important the decades between 1660 and 1700 were
in transforming, enlarging and diversifying English-language
poetry. Wright challenges the longstanding narrative of Restoration
poetry as a male, urban, London-centric form obsessed with the
contemporary, arguing persuasively that this schema omits crucial
literary works and relationships. Framed around three detailed case
studies of neglected aspects of Restoration poetry, the book
explores the depth of Spenser's influence, the importance of poetry
flourishing in Ireland, the significance of natural landscapes and
the vital role of women: both as readers, and writers. This book
presents a diverse literary Restoration steeped in historical
self-awareness and anxieties, engaged with the world outside
England's capital, and open to new voices. Its impressive scope
encompasses myriad little-known writers, while extensive historical
research underpins its fresh perspectives on poets such as Dryden,
Rochester, Cowley, Milton, Marvell and Behn.
