Excerpt: ... good time establish the "right practice and orderly course of true poetry."107 Puttenham, in a treatise the most extensively didactic of all, spares no pains to furnish English "courtiers, for whose instruction this travail is taken," with the "whole receit of poetry," compiling for their benefit a marvelous store of information pertaining to the art that he is zealous to teach them, so that "though they be to seek of the Greek and Latin languages" they shall not "lament for lack of knowledge sufficient to the purpose of this art. "m In the three books making up his Art of English Poesy, namely, "Of Poets and Poesy," "Of Proportion Poetical," and "Of Ornament," he attempts to supply information on all possible aspects of the subject, devoting himself in the main, however, to practical matters of forms and kinds, methods, prosody, and figures of speech. The prominence of the didactic motive in Elizabethan criticism of poetry is further evinced in the controversy between Campion and Daniel. Campion, in his endeavor to "induce a true form of versifying" with the aim of displacing the "vulgar and unartificial custom of riming," which he knows has "deterred many excellent wits from the exercise of English poesy, "m devotes himself chiefly to the exposition of the forms of verse that he wishes to be adopted, his purpose being not only to persuade poets to make the departure but also to teach them how to proceed. In his reply to Campion, Daniel, like Sidney, in a high and broad sense assumes the office of teacher. Just as Sidney had promulgated better conceptions of the nature and function of poetry, so Daniel contributes needful ideas concerning the question of form. Men like Campion had been obsessed by the idea that English poetry could best...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the rise of literary self-consciousness from the Elizabethan period to his own day, Eliot invites us to "start with the supposition that we do not know what poetry is, or what it does or ought to do, or of what use it is; and try to find out, in examining the relation of poetry to criticism, what the use of both of them is."

Download or read book Elizabethan Women and the Poetry of Courtship written by Ilona Bell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1999 book offers an original study of lyric form and social custom in the Elizabethan age. Ilona Bell explores the tendency of Elizabethan love poems not only to represent an amorous thought, but to conduct the courtship itself. Where studies have focused on courtiership, patronage and preferment at court, her focus is on love poetry, amorous courtship, and relations between Elizabethan men and women. The book examines the ways in which the tropes and rhetoric of love poetry were used to court Elizabethan women (not only at court and in the great houses, but in society at large) and how the women responded to being wooed, in prose, poetry and speech. Bringing together canonical male poets and women writers, Ilona Bell investigates a range of texts addressed to, written by, read, heard or transformed by Elizabethan women, and charts the beginnings of a female lyric tradition.
Download or read book Elizabethan Poetry in Manuscript written by Jessica Edmondes and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the first printed edition of a late sixteenth-century poetic miscellany and provides invaluable insight into understanding the literature of the period. Its owner and principal scribe, Humfrey Coningsby, drew on texts circulating in manuscript , predominantly by contemporary writers of the time--including Philip Sidney, Edward Dyer, Arthur Gorges, Walter Ralegh, Elizabeth I, the Earl of Oxford, Nicholas Breton, George Peele, and Thomas Watson. Coningsby also added at least two of his own compositions, along with anonymous poems not found in any other manuscripts or printed books. This edition preserves the appearance, spelling, and punctuation of the original manuscript while expanding antiquated contractions to provide an easily readable text. Textual notes appear on the page, and in-depth contextual notes and word glosses are provided in the commentary section. The analyses add to our knowledge of early modern manuscript culture and literary manuscript transmission, and a substantial introduction provides context for the compilation of the anthology.
Download or read book Common Understandings Poetic Confusion written by William N. West and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What if at night at the theaters in Elizabethan England more closely resembled attending a rugby match than sitting in a dark, silent audience, passively witnessing the action on the stage, or closer to going to a rock concert than sitting in front of a large or small screen, quietly and distantly absorbing a film or television drama? In this book, West proposes a new account of what happened in the playhouses of Shakespeare's time, and the kind of participatory entertainment expected by both the actors and the audience. Combining the precision of a philologist and the imagination of a philosopher, West performs careful readings of premodern figures of speech--including understanding, confusion, occupation, eating, and fighting--still in use today, but whose meanings for Elizabethan players, playgoers, and writers have diverged in subtle ways in our era. Playing itself was not restricted to the confines of the actors on the stage but pertained just as much to the audience in a collaborative rather than individualized theater experience, more corporeal, tactile, and active, rather than purely receptive and visual. Thrown apples, smashed bottles of beer, and lumbering bears--these and more contributed to both the verbal and physical interactions between players and playgoers, creating circuits of exchange, production, and consumption,all within the confines of the playhouse. West's account of the experience of the playhouse shows more affinity--and continuity--with more raucous, unruly medieval drama than previous literary critics have allowed. It will be of interest to a wide audience, actors, directors, and scholars included"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elizabethan Criticism of Poetry: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts, and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The chief value of this study of Elizabethan critical writings on poetry perhaps lies in the attempt to do approximately what Saintsbury says "would lead to inextricable confusion and criss-cross reference," namely, "to trace the development of the same ideas in different writers." The purpose has been to assemble the material under the topics that mainly occupied the interest of the critical writers of the period, and to view the standards and ideals thus exhibited with reference to their application to the contemporary problems of poetry. Consideration of the whole body of material dealt with has impressed the conviction that Elizabethan criticism of poetry - perhaps more independently English, or at least written (often by the poets themselves) more with reference to actual contemporary problems and conditions than may have heretofore been recognized - bears significant and in general consistent relationship to the poetic product of the time, and that a sympathetic knowledge of this criticism is highly important for an adequate understanding and appreciation of Elizabethan poetry. The critical writings dealt with have been limited chiefly to those that come within the reign of Elizabeth, most of which are included in G. Gregory Smith's edition of Elizabethan Critical Essays, a valuable source of material, the obligations to which are hereby acknowledged. In the discussions of certain topics, however, reference has been made to the comments of earlier and later critics. The comments from Bacon, Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson have been given for the most part in the footnotes. Jonson's criticism has not been included in the text of the discussion for the reasons that it represents a somewhat later development, and that it has already received careful attention in other studies. Although the material often tempted discussion of such questions as sources and the classical and romantic elements, considerations of unity and of space made it seem advisable to adhere to the plan outlined, even at the cost of apparent neglect of important topics. Moreover, these topics have been ably treated by other students of Elizabethan criticism. Faithful endeavor has been made to give full and unbiased evidence on the points discussed, and to this end the critics have as much as seemed expedient been allowed to speak for themselves. A brief bibliography, giving the expanded titles of the principal references cited in the footnotes, will be found at the end of this volume.
