Huntington Library and Art Gallery, mit Genehmigung. / Facsimile reproduction from the unique copy in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, by permission. / Aus der Einleitung / From the introduction: "Blenerhasset's Reuelation is, to all intents and purposes, a newly discovered document in the history of Elizabethan poetry, since the text has never before been accessible to students. It belongs to the pastoral-mythological branch of that great body of literature celebrating Queen Elizabeth which has been so ably reviewed by Professor Elkin C. Wilson in England's Eliza (Cam- bridge, Mass., 1939). But its date (1582) entitles it to a place also in studies of the English pastoral, of Spenser's early influence, and of metrical experimentation in English verse. It contains the first imitation of the Shepheardes Calender to appear in print, and the first pattern poems to be printed in English. It reflects the form and content of courtly poetry at the time when Spenser, Sidney, and Lyly had just ushered in a new literary era, and just before Lyly and Peele began to write the series of pastoral-mythological court comedies which did so much to give literary distinction to courtly entertainment. The Reuelation contains some interesting metrical experiments and some graceful lyrics; but it owes its importance less to any absolute literary merit than to the new light which it throws on its author and on the state of English poetry in 1582. -- The Poet -- Thomas Blenerhasset has been known as a poet only by his Seconde Part of the Mirrour for Magistrates (1578), a work in which he appears as a belated imitator of a dying mediaeval literary form. But in the Reuelation he demonstrates his active participation in the new school of experimental versification which focused attention on poetic technique and so laid the foundations For the great age which was just beginning to dawn."
