Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Spenser of His Age: Being Selected Poetry From the Works of Phineas Fletcher; With an Introduction, Etc "... Thou art Poet born: who know thee, know it: Thy brother, sire, thy very name´s a Poet: Thy very name will make these Poems take, These very Poems else thy name will make." Thus neatly did one of the friends of Phineas Fletcher turn his compliment when writing commendatory verses for prefixing to The Purple Island. The father, him self a poet of some contemporary distinction, had two sons, each of whom won a place not only in the estimation of the generation to which he belonged but also something of a permanent position in his country´s literature. With Giles Fletcher, his Christ´s Victorie and other poetical writings, I am not here concerned, but it may not be inappropriate to preface a volume of selections from the writings of Phineas Fletcher with a brief record of the poet´s life, a summary account of his work and a few words of justification for reprinting only a selection. The seventeenth century was particularly rich in poets who found their opportunities enhanced by the fact that their occupation was that of country clergy men. Away from the agitating centre of things they passed more retired lives than is possible in any part of the country to-day when time has been shortened and distance well-nigh cancelled by improved means of communication.
