These poems often rhyme, but never indulge in T.S. Eliot's or Archbishop Rowan's poetic obscurity, though they might perhaps have been a little less frank - they owe more to Browning's personal narratives, Larkin and Betjeman's sense of place. Written at the time, they offer a cheerfully homoerotic account of life in an enjoyably closed and mannered heterosexual College of Education in 1960s and '70s Cheltenham - an English spa town of semi-Alexandrian decadence. ... This is an honest account of the complications of affectionate lust in a very Establishment and officially Christian context - all very English.
A survey of Restoration poetry, from the forms in which it was disseminated to studies of important texts. This book explores the complex ways in which authors, publishers, and readers contributed to the making of Restoration poetry. The essays in Part I map some principal aspects of Restoration poetic culture: how poetic canons were established through both print and manuscript; how censorship operated within the manuscript transmission of erotic and politically sensitive poems; the poetic functions of authorial anonymity; the work of allusion and intertextualreference; the translation and adaptation of classical poetry; and the poetic representations of Charles II. Part II turns to individual poets, and charts the making of Dryden's canon; the ways in which Mac Flecknoe operates through intertextual allusions; the relationship of the variant texts of Marvell's "To his Coy Mistress"; and the treatment of Rochester's canon and text by his modern editors. The discussions are complemented by illustrationsdrawn from both printed books and manuscripts. PAUL HAMMOND is Professor of Seventeenth-Century Literature at the University of Leeds.
