Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
This volume treats early modern song as a musical and embodied practice and considers the implications of reading song not just as lyric text, but as a musical phenomenon that is the product of the singing body. It draws on a variety of genres, from theatre to psalm translations, sonnets and lyrics, and household drama to courtly masques.
Robert Herrick (1591-1674) achieved fame only in the nineteenth century. The book features approximately fifty reproductions of illustrations of Hesperides.
