The Poetical Rhapsody: To Which Are Added Several Other Pieces by Francis Davison is a scholarly edition of a seminal Elizabethan miscellany that reprints Davison’s early poetry and translations alongside pieces by his peers. Originally issued in 1602 and later expanded in subsequent editions, the work gathers Sonnets, Madrigals, Epigrams translated from Martial, Eclogues and Pastorals, a celebrated Lottery piece, and other verse forms, with prefatory notes and biographical notices that illuminate Davison’s life and the circle of poets around Elizabethan England. This edition foregrounds editorial apparatus, including a Preface, contents, and references to the lives and works of prominent contemporaries such as Sidney, Spenser, Raleigh, Dyer, and Donne. It presents not only a corpus of poetry but a vivid portrait of the era’s literary networks, tastes, and modes of publication. The volume also offers biographical material on Davison, his travels, and his role as editor of the Poetical Rhapsody, situating his contributions within the broader revival of early modern English verse.
