This book was released on 1921 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was a minor poet and diplomat under King William III and subsequently Queen Anne. As an envoy to the Netherlands and France and negotiator of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 he had a ringside seat at the European power struggles of his time, while at the same time forging a literary career by publishing poetry and angling for the post of Poet Laureate. Prior's surviving correspondence to his patrons and paymasters is a uniquely witty record of diplomatic life. The first full-length biography of Prior, this book was first published in 1921. Its author, Leopold George Wickham Legg, was an editor of the Dictionary of National Biography. The appendixes include detailed information about Prior's family background and transcriptions of some of his surviving letters and a diary from 1712.--

Download or read book The Poetry of Matthew Prior written by Hugh Parry and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was a diplomat who worked in Holland and France and was involved in political negotiations at the highest level. He was also a poet, however, and was much appreciated by his contemporaries for his craftsmanship, but above all for his entertainment value. His witty and sometimes cynical treatment of a wide range of subjects lost favour in the 19th century, and this selection from both his published and unpublished work aims to reintroduce to the modern reader this engaging man and writer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matthew Prior: A Study of His Public Career and Correspondence The Secretary of the Syndics of the University Press has laid the devotees of Prior under a heavy load of obli gation in recent years, and the Syndics might well have been expected to take the view that at their Press, he should have no successor in work relating to Prior. It is therefore no merely formal expression of thanks that I now make to them for their kindness in accepting this work for publication. I have also to thank the officers of the State Archives at The Hague for facilities given to me when working among their records, and more especially to the authorities of the Archives of the French Foreign Office Where, with a courtesy worthy of the tra ditions of French diplomacy, I was allowed to consult the papers dealing with Mat's Peace and the attempted Stuart restoration. I have also to express my thanks to the Marquess of Bath, k.g., for allowing me to print the extracts from one of his mss. Which will be found in Appendix C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diplomat and distinguished politician, the English poet Matthew Prior was noted for verses of amusing urbanity and satirical deftness, as well as for writing some of the most elegant love poetry of the late seventeenth century. Prior essayed graver themes in his masterpiece ‘Solomon on the Vanity of the World’ (1718), framed as a disquisition on the vanity of human knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Matthew Prior The fact that Prior has never before been given a full length biography might be urged as proof that such a book was unnecessary nor can it be maintained that he was of those a knowledge of whose careers is essential. But although he was really great neither as a poet nor as a diplomatist nor as a statesman, the sum of his achieve ment in his various activities was considerable, and his life was full of interest. Above all he had a complex and in some ways fascinating personality, which is reflected in his letters. The fine series of his corre spondence published in recent years by the Historical mss. Commission from the Marquess of Bath's collection at Longleat, made it worth while and, it may even be suggested, desirable that this book should be written.
