CVI, 255 / 362 / 376 S. / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - PREFACE -- The aim of this work is to collect all the material (save the writings of Dryden) necessary for a thorough study of the development of English criticism in the seventeenth century, and to make this development more intelligible by annotation and comment. The collection begins where Professor Gregory Smith's Critical Essays left off; and Professor Ker's edition of the Essays of Dryden would make the inclusion of these a work of supererogation. The omission of the chief critic of the century may suggest an obvious analogy to Hamlet without the protagonist who gives it its name. But the attention of scholars has been centred too exclusively on this highly significant figure ; he has overshadowed a considerable number of men whose work cannot be ignored without a loss of historical perspective. Their presence in this collection gives each an added significance as a link in the chain of English criticism, and the new light which is shed on its history by their collocation would justify their editor against the charge that he has edited three volumes of Nobody "On Nothing" even if Bacon and Jonson and Milton did not bear them company. -- CONTENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- The Jacobean Outlook: Bacon and Jonson -- Early Caroline Tentatives -- The New Aesthetics: Hobbes and Davenant -- The Trend toward Simplicity -- The Theory of Translation -- Wit and Humour -- The School of Sense: Rymer -- Poetry and Morals -- The School of Taste -- Francis Bacon -- From The Advancement of Learning (1605) -- Ben Jonson -- Preface to Sejanus (1605) -- Dedicatory Epistle of Volpone (1607) -- Preface to The Alchemist (1612) -- From Timber, or Discoveries (1620-35?) -- John Webster -- Preface to The White Devil (1612) -- George Chapman -- Prefaces to the Translation of Homer (1610-16?) -- Edmund Bolton: Hypercritica (1618 ?) -- Henry Peacham -- Of Poetry, from The Complete Gentleman (1622) -- Michael Drayton: Epistle to Henry Reynolds, of Poets and Poesy (1627) -- Henry Reynolds: Mythomystes (1633 ?) -- Sir William Alexander : Anacrisis (1634 ?) -- Sir John Suckling: A Sessions of the Poets (1637?) -- John Milton -- From The Reason of Church Government (1641) -- From An Apology for Smectymnuus (1642) -- From the Treatise Of Education (1644) -- Preface to Paradise Lost (1668) -- Preface to Samson Agonistes (1671) -- Appendix -- Conversations of Ben Jonson and William Drummond of Hawthornden (1619) -- Notes -- CONTENTS -- Sir William Davenant: Preface to Gondibert (1650) -- Thomas Hobbes: Answer to Davenant's Preface to Gondibert (1650) Preface to Homer (1675) -- Abraham Cowley : Preface to Poems (1656) -- Richard Flecknoe -- A Short Discourse of the English Stage (1664) -- Sir Robert Howard: Preface to Four New Plays (1665) -- Preface to The Great Favourite (1668) -- Thomas Sprat -- From The History of the Royal Society (1667) Account of the Life and Writings of Abraham Cowley (1668) -- Thomas Shadwell -- Preface to The Sullen Lovers (1668) -- Preface to The Humorists (1671) -- Thomas Rymer: Preface to Rapin (1674) -- From The Tragedies of the Last Age (1678) -- From A Short View of Tragedy (1693) -- Edward Phillips: Preface to Theatrum Poetarum (1675) -- Joseph Glanvill -- From An Essay concerning Preaching (1678) -- Samuel Butler -- Upon Critics who judge of Modern Plays by the Rules of the Ancients (1678 ?) -- Earl of Rochester -- An Allusion to Horace (1677-1679?) -- Earl of Mulgrave -- An Essay upon Poetry (1682) -- Earl of Roscommon -- An Essay on Translated Perse (1684) -- Appendix -- Letters of John Evelyn -- I.
