Tottel's Songes and Sonettes in Context: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture

Editat de Stephen Hamrick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 apr 2013
Though printer Richard Tottel’s Songes and Sonettes (1557) remains the most influential poetic collection printed in the sixteenth century, the compiliation has long been ignored or misundertood by scholars of early modern English culture. Embracing a broad range of critical and historical perspectives, the eight essays within this volume offer the first sustained analysis of the many ways that consumers read and understood Songes and Sonettes as an anthology over the course of the early modern period. Copied by a monarch, set to music, sung, carried overseas, studied, appropriated, rejected, edited by consumers, transferred to manuscript, and gifted by Shakespeare, this muti-author verse anthology of 280 poems transformed sixteenth-century English language and culture. With at least eleven printings before the end of Elizabeth I’s reign, Tottel’s ground-breaking text greatly influenced the poetic publications that followed, including individual and multi-author miscellanies. Contributors to this essay collection explore how, in addition to offering a radically new kind of English verse, ’Tottel’s Miscellany’ engaged politics, friendship, religion, sexuality, gender, morality and commerce in complex-and at times, contradictory-ways.

Recenzii

’...a very stimulating volume, which will certainly encourage scholars to return to this ’Book of Riddles’ (131).’ Notes and Queries ’...these essays offer a range of illuminating new views on a work which was something of a publishing phenomenon’ Publishing History '[This book] offers a useful and critically informed survey of the miscellany's position in criticism so far ... [the essays approach] Tottel's Miscellany from many different angles in textual, sociological, intertextual, or historical readings.' Spenser Review

Descriere

The eight essays within this volume offer the first sustained analysis of the ways that consumers read and understood Songes and Sonettes (1557), a radically new and highly influential form of poetic collection compiled by printer Richard Tottel. Embracing a broad range of critical and historical perspectives, contributors explore how ’Tottel’s Miscellany’ engaged politics, friendship, religion, sexuality, gender, morality and commerce in complex - and at times, contradictory - ways.
