Bel-vedere; or The Garden of the Muses is an early modern printed
commonplace book containing an anthology of nearly 4,500 short
verse quotations arranged under topical headings. The book first
appeared in 1600 and a second edition was published in 1610. It is
of exceptional importance for the early historical reception of
early modern authors such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser,
and Christopher Marlowe (whose verse it includes); for the late
Elizabethan practice of commonplacing; for the rising status of
English literature (including dramatic literature); and for early
modern English canon formation. Until now the book has never been
properly edited. This edition provides the first full analysis of
the contents of Bel-vedere, presenting the text for today's readers
and filling an important gap in the study of early modern English
literature.
