Synopsis

This book introduces an archive of newly imagined and translated odes, epitaphs, and hymns from the mid-eighteenth century, offering a unique insight into the literary circles of the era. Giving new life to poems that would have otherwise been lost to the far reaches of literary archives, the author illuminates the lesser-known writers of the time. Through careful examination of the author's life, this book unearths the role of patronage in shaping artistic output within the period's literary landscape. A thought-provoking look at friendship, patronage, and poetic expression, it showcases forgotten works with familiar eighteenth-century themes, revealing the interconnectedness and overlapping influences within literary circles.
