Synopsis
Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 6: Edited From Original Manuscripts and Scarce Publications
Passionate Poet, with a description of the Thracian Ismarus Printed by Valentine Simmes, 1601; and of a prose tract interspersed with poetry, entitled A Welch Bayte to spare Provender; or, a looking backe vpon the Timespast: Printed by Valentine Simmes, 1603. As a poet, Powell deals much more in new words than new thoughts, and there is a laboured constraint in his writing which not unfrequently involves his meaning in obscurity.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together a unique collection of four unpublished early 16th-century tracts, now held in The British Library. Each of these tracts provides an intriguing and very different perspective on medieval and Tudor society. One of these tracts is a morality play, another is a poem by John Butler presenting the tenets of good servants, and a third is a satirical look at the social changes brought about by the Reformation. The final work, a homily on the importance of alms giving, is particularly notable for the fact that it was written by a woman. Together, these works offer a fascinating insight into the lives, beliefs, and preoccupations of the people living in England in the centuries before the Tudors rose to power. The author draws on historical context and provides a lively and accessible introduction to these tracts, which offer a broad look at the literature and culture of the period.
