Barrell, John & John Bull, editors.
A Book of English Pastoral Verse. Introduced and Edited by John Barrell and John Bull.
Publisher: NY, Oxford UP, 1975.
"In this anthology... the editors have interpreted 'Pastoral' in a wide sense to mean writing about society in terms of an ideal country life. They have therefore included, in addition to formal eclogues, examples of pastoral drama, country-house poems, poems about agriculture in the style of Virgil's 'Georgics', and poems that satirize or denounce the pastoral tradition. ...In addition... the anthology offers an authoritative critical study of the genre." The eight "broadly chronological" sections are: The Elizabethan Pastoral; The Pastoral Drama; The 17th-Century Pastoral; Augustan Pastoral; Whigs and Post-Augustans; Some Versions of Anti-Pastoral; Romantics and Victorians; Indices of authors & of first lines and titles. xix, 539 p., 20.5 cm.; color pictorial dj; edges smudged; VG. 34147.

This edition contains the original "classic" introduction by E. K. Brown (who had died prior to the publication of this second edition) and the late professor's biographical sketches of the poets. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Chambers, E. K. (Edmund K.), compiler.
The Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse.
Publisher: Oxford, Clarendon Press / John Johnson, 'Reprinted 1939'.
xiii, 905 p., indexes; 19.5 cm. "...the anthologist, when he has taken his account of Skelton and Wyatt, Surrey and Sackville, finds himself with little more than twenty years from which to gather the rest of his garland. This has its advantage and its disadvantage. On the one hand he is able to allow himself a somewhat intensive treatment of the greater writers, without exceeding the reasonable scope of a single volume; on the other, he loses the aesthetic pleasure of setting forth only the very best. In the present case an attempt has been made to apply a standard of absolute poetry, rather than one of merely historic interest... A decent tenderness has been shown to the beginners, and here and there a concession is made to the glamour of a famous name. ...Elizabethan poetry is characteristically a light-hearted poetry, in the manner of the Renaissance throughout Europe. It plays upon the coloured surface of things, rather than draws from the wells. Its inspiration is in the lust of the eyes and the pride of life." Navy cloth stamped in gold; spine faded; good+. Copy of Nancy Van Nostrand with her ink signature & a few pencil notes. Stock#23076.
