The printed poetry anthologies first produced in sixteenth-century
England have long been understood as instrumental in shaping the
history of English poetry. This book offers a fresh approach to
this history by turning attention to the recreative properties of
these books, both in the sense of making again, of crafting and
recrafting, and of poetry as a pleasurable pastime. The model of
materiality employed extends from books-as-artefacts to their
embodiedness - their crafted, performative, and expressive
capacities. Publishers invariably advertised the recreational uses
of anthologies, locating these books in early modern performance
cultures in which poetry was read, silently and in company,
sometimes set to music, and re-crafted into other forms. Engaging
with studies of material cultures, including work on craft,
households, and soundscapes, Crafting Poetry Anthologies argues for
a domestic Renaissance in which anthologies travelled across social
classes, shaping recreational cultures that incorporated men and
women in literary culture.
