Victoria Moul's groundbreaking study uncovers one of the most
important features of early modern English poetry: its
bilingualism. The first guide to a forgotten literary landscape,
this book considers the vast quantities of poetry that were written
and read in both Latin and English from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth century. Introducing readers to a host of new authors
and drawing on hundreds of manuscript as well as print sources, it
also reinterprets a series of landmarks in English poetry within a
bilingual literary context. Ranging from Tottel's miscellany to the
hymns of Isaac Watts, via Shakespeare, Jonson, Herbert, Marvell,
Milton and Cowley, this revelatory survey shows how the forms and
fashions of contemporary Latin verse informed key developments in
English poetry. As the complex, highly creative interactions
between the two languages are revealed, the work reshapes our
understanding of what 'English' literary history means.
