Robert Southwell: Snow in Arcadia: Redrawing the English Lyric Landscape, 1586-1595

Copertina anteriore
Manchester University Press, 2006 - 316 pagine
It has traditionally been held that Robert Southwell's poetry offers a curious view of Elizabethan England, one that is from the restricted perspective of a priest-hole. This book dismantles that idea by examining the poetry, word by word, discovering layers of new meanings, hidden emblems, and sharp critiques of Elizabeth's courtiers, and even of the ageing queen herself.
