In the realms of poetry, the 16th century began with Skelton echoing Chaucer and ended with social satires in heroic couplets that anticipated Dryden and Pope. This volume explores the full richness and diversity of Tudor poetry, from pastorals to ballads, lyrics to grotesqueries. Emrys Jones has included material never previously anthologized, translations that amount to original poems in themselves, and the masterworks of the poets who made this one of the greatest periods in English literature: Wyatt, Spenser, Lyly, Sidney, Ralegh, Harington, Shakespeare, Campion, Nashe, Donne, Marston and Dekker.
