In the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the poetry
published in Britain between the Restoration and the end of the
eighteenth century, forty-four authorities from six countries
survey the poetry of the age in all its richness and
diversity-serious and satirical, public and private, by men and
women, nobles and peasants, whether published in deluxe editions or
sung on the streets. The contributors discuss poems in social
contexts, poetic identities, poetic subjects, poetic form, poetic
genres, poetic devices, and criticism. Even experts in
eighteenth-century poetry will see familiar poems from new angles,
and all readers will encounter poems they've never read before. The
book is not a chronologically organized literary history, nor an
encyclopedia, nor a collection of thematically related essays;
rather it is an attempt to provide a systematic overview of these
poetic works, and to restore it to a position of centrality in
modern criticism.
