This edition of some five hundred recently-discovered poems by
Mildmay Fane, second Earl of Westmorland presents the largest
collection of 'new' seventeenth-century poetry since Traherne's
poems were published almost a century ago. Until the rediscovery of
these manuscripts, written between 1625 and 1665, Fane was known
only as a patron of Robert Herrick, and as the author of a slim
volume of poems, Otia Sacra (1648). This important body of
manuscript poetry establishes him as a significant early modern
poet. Fane's agonised and changing representation of an England
turned upside-down and back again, and of its everyday social as
well as political life, is meticulously annotated in this first
edition. It uses Fane's surviving account books and letters, as
well as a wealth of other contemporary information, to
contextualise his poems in a way rarely possible with other early
modern writers. The resulting text provides fascinating and
revealing insights for cultural and political historians, as well
as for all readers of English poetry. -- .
