A fully annotated edition of Samuel Daniel's major poetry and selected prose, this edition expands the scope and explanatory detail of Sprague's 1930 edition. The editors have modernized spelling and punctuation, and based their text on the first authorized edition of each work, a choice that they defend by pointing out that while Daniel revised his poetry, "his revisions were not always improvements." Selections, prefaced by a brief discussion of each text's literary characteristics, publication history, and thematic content, include "To the Reader," "Delia," "The Complaint of Rosamund," "A Letter from Octavia to Marcus Antonius," "Musophilus," "A Pastoral," "Certain Epistles EPISTLES, civil law. The name given to a species of rescript. Epistles were the answers given by the prince, when magistrates submitted to him a question of law. Vicle Rescripts. ," "Ulysses and the Siren," "To the Right Reverend Father in God," "James Montague," and "A Defense of Rhyme." An appendix includes a selection of poems as they appeared in later editions. |
