Summary Elizabethan poet Henry Constable (1562-1613), a Protestant-born Catholic convert, was long dismissed as a minor poet, a Catholic traitor, or both, but his writings reveal unresolved tensions between the public and…the private, hope and disillusion, the secular and the religious. This book offers a new comprehensive critical edition of Constable's sonnets. Along with an updated biography and a study of the sonnet collections, the introduction provides an authoritative revision of the canon of Constable's poetry and an overview of its critical reception.

ISBN: 978-0-88844-232-1. Hardback -- SUMMARY Robert Wakefield and his brother Thomas were pioneers in the study and teaching of Hebrew in early modern England. Robert was tra…ined at Cambridge, acquired expertise in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic, and obtained professorial status in Louvain, Cambridge, and Oxford. Thomas took possession of his brother's books and manuscripts upon his death; he enjoyed long tenure as praelector in Hebrew at Cambridge and was a compulsive annotator of his books. This volume draws together the political, linguistic, and bibliographical materials that shaped the careers of these two scholars, revising previous claims and producing a compelling analysis of Hebrew learning in sixteenth-century England.
