Customer Reviews

An excellent anthology of 17th century prose and poetry

A beautiful volume divided into two parts. The first contains the prose of writers such as John Milton and George Herbert, and the second, poetry by people like John Donne, Ben Jonson, and George Herbert. Each auther has his own bibliography. Even Francis Quarles emblematic poetry is encluded with the wood cuttings. For all of its beauty, there is a severe lack of female contributers and the the tone of the book is very religious.
