When at the age of twenty-three Barnabe Googe allowed the
publication of his Ecologues, Epitaphs, and Sonnets, he became the
first English author to publish personal poetry during his
lifetime. His ecologues are, with Barclay's, the first examples of
the form in English, anticipating in several respects Spenser's
Shepheardes Calendar. He was the first writer to introduce into
English literature Montemayor's pastoral romance Diana, later an
important source for Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare. His short
lyrics, many of them occasional, provides an image of the society
of the time, and have been admired by modern critics as
representative of the native plain style. The small volume of 1563
was last edited by Edward Arber in 1871. In this new edition Judith
Kennedy offers a modernized text, with introduction, commentary,
and textual apparatus. The volume has been designed for students
with little knowledge of the period, offering them a readable text
and inviting investigation into other aspects of the period and the
ways in which it relates to later Elizabethan literature. For
scholars, the textual appendix provides the necessary assurances of
the reliability of the text; the network of literary and personal
associations explored in the introduction and notes will also be of
considerable interest.
