Omschrijving
This is the first complete edition of the poetry of Charles Cotton (1630-1687), one of the most interesting poets of the mid-seventeenth century, who wrote in many styles and many voices. Paul Hartle draws upon all of the available manuscripts and early printed editions, and unites the different components of Cotton's prolific output.
In terms of both its textual analysis and its rich explanatory commentary of over six hundred pages, Hartle's edition is an achievement of impressive substance. A complete checking of Hartle's texts against their sources would, of course, involve as much exacting labour as he has expended himself. Suffice it to say that spot-checks against printed sources, together with the general thoroughness and judiciousness of the volumes' editorial contributions, give one every confidence that the totality of Cotton's poetical output has now been presented with unprecedented accuracy."--
Paul Hartle was educated at Victoria College, Jersey and then at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. He has a particular interest in the afterlives of the classics and has published widely on the subject. His next project is an account of the presence and perception of Japan in Early Modern British culture.
