Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Elizabethan Lyrics: Selected and Edited The introduction is concerned for the most part with two topics: (1) an account of the Elizabethan lyric of art in its nature, origin, and different modes, with comment on the authors and the literary tendencies involved; and (z) a consideration of the chief lyrical measures of the age from an organic as well as an historical point of view.

Excerpt: ... chapter iii lyric themes and lyrical quality in the miscellanies The Elizabethan lyric first presented itself to the public in the popular collections called Miscellanies. The first printed collection of this kind, Tottel's Miscellany. 1557. is usually reckoned the startingpoint of the great lyric era. But both the themes of the songs and the mode of publishing had their roots deep-set in the earlier literature. The habit l of making manuscript collections of favorite songs for convenience in singing was very common during the early part of the Tudor period, and perhaps earlier. Four or five examples are preserved, and show clearly the connection between the old lyric and the new.1 The largest collection is particularly valuable because it contains several pieces by Henry viii. On account of its importance it will be considered first. Since the birth of Prince Henry, in 1511, is 1 Liedersammlungen der xvi Jahrhunderte, besonders aus der Zeit Heinrech's viii, Fliigel, Anglia, xii. p. 225. A few of the songs, with facsimiles of the music, can be found in an article by Wm. Chappell in Archseologia, xli. pt. ii. p. 371. mentioned in one of the songs, the manuscript is assigned to the year immediately after. It should be remembered that this collection belonged to a gentleman of rank, perhaps to the king, and it reflects his tastes, not those of the average man. Some of the songs are signed; 1 the others may be old compositions, or the work of contemporary writers; one evidently is a version of a song by Sir Thomas Wyatt.2 Though the familiar themes of the Middle English lyric are represented, they show a double change, due to the effect

Book Description
As a study of lyric poetry, in English, from the early modern period to the present, this book explores one of the most ancient and significant art forms in Western culture as it emerges in its various modern incarnations. Combining a much-needed historicisation of the concept of lyric with an aesthetic and formal focus, this collaboration of period-specialists offers a new cross-historical approach. Through eleven chapters, spanning more than four centuries, the book provides readers with both a genealogical framework for the understanding of lyric poetry within any particular period, and a necessary context for more general discussion of the nature of genre.
