Synopsis

In the realms of poetry, the 16th century began with Skelton echoing Chaucer and ended with social satires in heroic couplets that anticipated Dryden and Pope. This volume explores the full richness and diversity of Tudor poetry, from pastorals to ballads, lyrics to grotesqueries. Emrys Jones has included material never previously anthologized, translations that amount to original poems in themselves, and the masterworks of the poets who made this one of the greatest periods in English literature: Wyatt, Spenser, Lyly, Sidney, Ralegh, Harington, Shakespeare, Campion, Nashe, Donne, Marston and Dekker.

Media Reviews
Astonishingly full collection. I appreciate the effort to include women....It's a great opportunity to have this kind of depth and breadth available. --David G. Brailow, Mckendree College
An excellent collection that makes the texts accessible and includes much more than just the court poetry of the 1580s. --Carolyn Asp, Marquette University
This is a marvelous approach to a delightfully disorderly body of verse. --Byron Nelson, West Virginia University
Now and again, an anthology is published which is also a real book. That is, the editor's selection shows us new ways of reading poetry. Such a work is The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth-Century Verse. --Times Literary Supplement
A distinguished, tough-minded, and endearing anthology. --Sixteenth Century Journal
