Edmund Waller (1606-1687): New Perspectives reappraises the life
and works of an important but neglected seventeenth-century English
poet. Admired at court in the 1630s and at the Restoration, Waller
made a deep impression on contemporary poetry: his collection of
Poems (1645) was widely acclaimed and had an 'extraordinary impact'
on future poets. The book investigates, among other things,
Waller's political views on affairs of state, his social and
literary interactions with younger poets, his friendship with John
Evelyn while in exile, his technical poetic innovations, his
rivalry with Andrew Marvell, his elegies, and his contemporary and
posthumous reputation. Contributors: Warren Chernaik, Daniel Cook,
Stephen Deng, Martin Dzelzainis, Richard Hillyer, Philip Major,
Michael P. Parker, Tessie Prakas, Geoffrey Smith, Thomas Ward, and
Gillian Wright.
