Excerpt from A Book of Elizabethan Lyrics: Selected and Edited The introduction is concerned for the most part with two topics: (1) an account of the Elizabethan lyric of art in its nature, origin, and different modes, with comment on the authors and the literary tendencies involved; and (z) a consideration of the chief lyrical measures of the age from an organic as well as an historical point of view. The foreign relations of Elizabethan poetry which, in the lyric, were exemplified largely in the pastoral mode and in the fashion for sonneting and writing lyrics to be set to music.
