基本説明
"Specimens with Memoirs of the Less-Known British Poets" is a comprehensive anthology edited by George Gilfillan, focusing on the works and lives of British poets who have not received widespread recognition. The text is divided into periods, with the second volume continuing from Spenser to Dryden. It includes poets such as William Habington, Joseph Hall, Richard Lovelace, and Robert Herrick, among others. Each poet is introduced with a brief biographical sketch, followed by selections of their poetry. The anthology aims to shed light on the diverse styles and themes explored by these poets, ranging from love and nature to satire and spirituality. Habington, for instance, is noted for his pure and ardent love poetry, while Hall is recognized as a pioneer of British satire. Lovelace's works reflect his experiences as a cavalier and his romantic disappointments, and Herrick is celebrated for his lyrical and musical compositions. The anthology not only highlights the individual talents of these poets but also provides insight into the broader literary and cultural context of their time. Through this collection, Gilfillan seeks to preserve the legacy of these lesser-known poets and ensure their contributions to English literature are not forgotten.
