The State's Poet

Produktbeschreibung

Despite his influence as a poet, wit, courtier, exile, politician and surveyor of the king's works, Sir John Denham remains a neglected figure. The original essays in this interdisciplinary collection both examine for the first time, and reassess, important features of Denham's life and reputations, revealing him as a complex man who subverts as well as reinforces conventional characterisations of court wit, gambler and dilettante.
