Condition: Gut. XII, 369 S. / p. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar / Cover slightly rubbed, otherwise a good copy - Although Virgil was immensely influential on English poetry in the Renaissance and seventeenth century, inspiring dozens of epics and thousands of pastorals, the middle term of the Virgilian rota, georgic, has been neglected by those who have examined the literature of the period. In the first book on this important topic, Anthony Low discusses the courtly or aristocratic ideal as the great enemy of the georgic spirit, and shows that georgic powerfully invaded English poetry in the years from 1590 to 1700. During that time a revolution took place with religious, ide-ological, and technological as well as literary ramifications. Professor Low describes a significant current of social history, as revealed in poetry, and at the same time elucidates that poetry by placing it more precisely in a living context. -- The author reinterprets Book 6 of The Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained, as well as works by Donne, Johnson, Carew, Herrick, Marvell, and others. Georgic proves to be a key concept, toward which biblical hermeneutics, the rise of the New Science, and the reforming vision of such disparate writers as Thomas More, Hugh Latimer, Francis Bacon, George Wither, and Gerrard Winstanley all converge.
