• W4210316893 abstract "510 Reviews Early Modern English Poetry. A Critical Companion. Ed. by PATRICK CHENEY, AN DREW HADFIELD, and GARRETT A. SULLIVAN, JR. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2007. xxiii+342pp. ?2I.99. ISBN 978-o-I9-515387-3. This isan exceptionally useful collection of introductory essays on English verse from Wyatt and Surrey toMarvell and Crashaw. The editors introduce theircontributors as 'expert academics' but this is toundersell the starrygalaxy theyhave assembled. It is relatively rare to findscholars of this eminence attempting to summarize knowledge on a particular author or kind ofwriting forundergraduate beginners, andmost of the contributors accomplish theirbriefwith a seemingly effortless clarity and elegance. Many of the essays, forexample Catherine Bates onWyatt and Surrey,Helen Wilcox on Lanyer, Julie Sanders on Jonson and theCourt, or Aschah Guibory on Donne's religious verse, toname but a few,go well beyond giving an expert overview of their subjects, to produce thought-provoking considerations of the function and signifi cance of the verse within itsprecise historical and cultural contexts. Provocative in a differentway is JonathanGoldberg's essay on theBower ofBliss and theGarden of Adonis episodes in The Faerie Queene, which challenges the conventionally hetero sexual perspective fromwhich these highly erotic verses are usually read. The editors describe their arrangement ofmaterial, largely divided into chapters focused on authors rather than topics, as 'innovative'. To this reader, the author centred arrangement seems at times rather awkward, ignoring, as it seems to do, recent critical questioning of the significance of individual 'authorship', and a new emphasis on the social nature and shared production of verse in the period. Arthur Marotti, whose 1995 study ofManuscript, Print and theEnglish Renaissance Lyric (Ithaca, NY, and London: Cornell University Press) significantly contributed to this shift inemphasis, here contributes a useful overview essay which describes theempha sis on single-author editions as a phenomenon developing largely in the seventeenth century.The writing that suffersmost from this author-centred arrangement is the explosion of printed verse in themid-century following the publication of Tottel's Miscellany in I557.George Gascoigne, whose innovative and highly accomplished A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres (I 573) marks thehigh point of thisexperimental period, is represented only awkwardly by being shoe-horned inuncomfortably with Dyer and theEarl ofOxford as a courtier poet, a label which would have pleased him greatly but which scarcely describes his work. Nevertheless, in spite of the editors' focus on single authors as their organizing principle, a large number of the essays very usefully escape such straitjacketing, either by looking at shared genres or groups of writers-for example Marotti's essay,Andrew McRae on satires, or Laura Lunger Knoppers on Cavalier poetry-or by considering a specific poem orwriter in terms of itsengagement with otherwriting, as in the case of JohnKing's excellent essay on traditions atwork inSpenser's May Eclogue, or Naomi Miller's sensitive reading of Wroth sonnets in relation to those of her uncle and father. In order to compensate for the author-centred focus ofmost of the chapters, the editors have helpfully given us two arrangements of the contents: in chronological sequence, and topically, arranged by theme and genre. The topical arrangement is highly suggestive and should prove fruitful when the volume is used, as the editors suggest it might be, as part of a course inwhich individual poems or groups of poems would be studied week byweek alongside theessays. Used thisway, thevolume would provide both some very fineexamples of close readings ofwell-known and some less well-known poems, and contextual essays of exceptional quality. In a period when students are often nervous of reading poetry and particularly frightened by early modern texts, thisvolume may make a significant contribution to introducing a new MLR, I03.2, 2008 5I generation to theextraordinary poetic riches of thisperiod. All the essays are followed by a selective reading listof a size tohelp rather than intimidate new students.
