Robert Herrick has long been one of the best loved of English lyric
poets. Known through the centuries as the author of 'Gather ye
rosebuds', he also wrote, as this new edition shows, hundreds of
songs, epigrams and longer poems equally worthy of attention.
Volume I of this new edition of Herrick's work contains Hesperides,
Herrick's only published collection. As well as the commentary on
Hesperides, volume II contains the fifty-nine surviving manuscript
poems which can be firmly attributed to Herrick, and on which his
reputation was based before 1648. It is an ambitious and original
attempt to recover for the first time the history of Herrick's
corpus of manuscript poetry, and to identify how his poems
circulated, and who his copyists and readers were. By establishing
the type of sources to which they had access and the nature and
quality of the poems these sources contained, and through the
histories of transmission that accompany every poem, this volume
offers a significant body of evidence that deepens our critical
understanding not only of Herrick's poetry, but of the mechanics of
scribal publication and the culture of reading, writing and
performing poetry and music in early modern England. Where, as is
often the case, a musical setting survives this is also printed,
along with a commentary on the setting, in a form which is designed
to encourage the performance of the lyrics.
