Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Elizabethan Lyric: A Study This study was submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Columbia University. It was undertaken at the suggestion of the late Professor Thomas R. Price, who called the authors attention to the lack of systematic information concerning the history and the nature of lyric poetry in general, and especially of the Elizabethan lyric. The student must depend for his knowledge of the greatest song-period in English literature upon occasional pamphlets, dealing with only parts of the subject, upon introductions to anthologies, or upon scattered passages in the large histories. It is the aim of this study to supply a chronological survey of the English lyric in Elizabeth´s time, and to relate its principal movements and themes to one another. In dealing with the song-books, the author was struck by the indifference or the ignorance of literary historians in regard to the true nature of madrigal music, and its influence upon the lyric. It would seem that no historian of this period has had the twofold interest in music and in literature which is necessary for a complete understanding of any songs.
