Description

A collection of poems by a pivotal figure in the literary culture of Stuart England. William Herbert, Third Earl of Pembroke, was a pivotal figure in the literary and political cultures of Stuart England.

He wrote poetry primarily for social occasions: A debate with a friend, seductions or apologies to beloveds, or support for a deceased political ally.

This volume collects his work along with an introduction, detailed notes, and other apparatus that explore the networks in which the poems circulated, the interpretive contexts suggested in miscellanies, and alternative readings revealed through scribal variants.

The book also features five contemporary musical settings.
