Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sixteenth Century Anthology The great period of English poetry begins half-way through the sixteenth century and lasts halfway into the seventeenth. In the poetry strictly of the sixteenth century before the drama had absorbed poetry into the substance of its many energies, verse is used as speech, and becomes song by way of speech. It was the age of youth, and rejoiced, as youth does, in scarcely tried strength and in the choice of adventure. And it was an adventure to write. Soldiers and voyagers, Sidney, Raleigh, led the way as on horses and in ships. It is Raleigh, in the preface to a deeply meditated "History of the World," who speaks gallantly of "leisure to have made myself a fool in print". New worlds had been found beyond the sea, and were to be had for the finding in all the regions of the mind. There were buried worlds of the mind which had lately been dug up, lands had been newly colonized, in Italy and in France; a hind of second nature, it seemed to men in those days, which might be used not less freely than nature itself.
