It combines thorough description of the genre's history and conventions with consideration of the rootedness of individual epigrams within specific social, political and religious contexts. The book explores questions of libel, censorship and patronage associated with the genre, and includes chapters on the sub-genres of the religious epigram, political epigram and mock epitaph. It balances discussion of canonical figures such as Ben Jonson and Sir John Harington with a wide range of lesser known poets, drawing on both manuscript and print sources.Epigrams, EnglishEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismLiteraturemupLiterary Studies: C 1500 To C 1800bicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshbisachIrelandthemaBen Jonson.Epigrams.Epitaphs.Henry Parrot.Manuscript poetry.Neo-Latin verse.Sir John Harington.Thomas Bastard.Thomas Freeman.Epigrams, EnglishHistory and criticism.LiteratureLiterary Studies: C 1500 To C 1800LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshIreland828.302Doelman James1963-1248445UkMaJRUBOOK9910160330103321The epigram in England, 1590-16402893551UNINA
