A survey of Restoration poetry, from the forms in which it was
disseminated to studies of important texts. This book explores the
complex ways in which authors, publishers, and readers contributed
to the making of Restoration poetry. The essays in Part I map some
principal aspects of Restoration poetic culture: how poetic canons
were established through both print and manuscript; how censorship
operated within the manuscript transmission of erotic and
politically sensitive poems; the poetic functions of authorial
anonymity; the work of allusion and intertextualreference; the
translation and adaptation of classical poetry; and the poetic
representations of Charles II. Part II turns to individual poets,
and charts the making of Dryden's canon; the ways in which Mac
Flecknoe operates through intertextual allusions; the relationship
of the variant texts of Marvell's "To his Coy Mistress"; and the
treatment of Rochester's canon and text by his modern editors. The
discussions are complemented by illustrationsdrawn from both
printed books and manuscripts. PAUL HAMMOND is Professor of
Seventeenth-Century Literature at the University of Leeds.
