Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Drummond of Hawthornden, Vol. 1: With "a Cypresse Grove" We have likewise diverged from the Maitland Club edition in the matter of punctuation. In that edition the punctuation is modernised. We have adhered to Drummond's own punctuation, not only because it would be difficult to imagine any writer bringing greater care to the revision of his text, but also and principally in view of the fact that his punctuation was based on rhythmic rather than on logical considerations. It is a risky proceeding to interfere with the settled punctuation of a poet of any period, and more especially of that period to modify it in any way in the case of a poet whose reputa tion must ultimately rest largely on the rhythmic qualities of his verse becomes a positive injustice.

Download or read book The Stuart Courts written by Eveline Cruickshanks and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regal courts of the English Stuart Kings, from James I (1603-1625) to the ill-fated James II (1685-1689), were magnificent affairs. In a country otherwise given to increasingly austere Puritan ways of living, the royal court shone with a brilliance usually associated with the courts of the Catholic kings of mainland Europe. They were centres of great culture, patronage, ceremony and politics. The real importance of the courts, though down-played for many years, is now beginning to be fully recognised and this first major study of the Stuart courts in England, Scotland and Ireland examines them in their full cultural and historical context. Scholars of international reputation and up and coming, younger scholars have been brought together to give us an insight into many aspects of the Stuart courts. This book includes essays on culture and patronage of the arts and social history. What was it really like at the court? What rules applied? How did the courtiers behave? Finally, the crucial interplay between court life and political life, and politics, is examined in detail. This book is a major contribution to a flourishing area of scholarship and will be required reading for anyone interested in seventeenth-century history, court studies or the arts in the early modern period.

Download or read book The Sonnet written by Stephen Regan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sonnet provides a comprehensive study of one of the oldest and most popular forms of poetry, widely used by Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, and still used centuries later by poets such as Seamus Heaney, Tony Harrison, and Carol Ann Duffy. This book traces the development of the sonnet from its origins in medieval Italy to its widespread acceptance in modern Britain, Ireland, and America. It shows how the sonnet emerges from the aristocratic courtly centres of Renaissance Europe and gradually becomes the chosen form of radical political poets such as Milton. The book draws on detailed critical analysis of some of the best-known sonnets written in English to explain how the sonnet functions as a poetic form, and it argues that the flexibility and versatility of the sonnet have given it a special place in literary history and tradition.
Download or read book Law and Opinion in Scotland during the Seventeenth Century written by John D Ford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-20 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Britain at least, changes in the law are expected to be made by the enactment of statutes or the decision of cases by senior judges. Lawyers express opinions about the law but do not expect their opinions to form part of the law. It was not always so. This book explores the relationship between the opinions expressed by lawyers and the development of the law of Scotland in the century preceding the parliamentary union with England in 1707, when it was decided that the private law of Scotland was sufficiently distinctive and coherent to be worthy of preservation. Credit for this surprising decision, which has resulted in the survival of two separate legal systems in Britain, has often been given to the first Viscount Stair, whose Institutions of the Law of Scotland had appeared in a revised edition in 1693. The present book places Stair's treatise in historical context and asks whether it could have been his intention in writing to express the type of authoritative opinions that could have been used to consolidate the emerging law, and whether he could have been motivated in writing by a desire to clarify the relationship between the laws of Scotland and England. In doing so the book provides a fresh account of the literature and practice of Scots law in its formative period and at the same time sheds light on the background to the 1707 union. It will be of interest to legal historians and Scots lawyers, but it should also be accessible to lay readers who wish to know more about the law and legal history of Scotland
