Dear all
I'm pleased to report that my CUP edition of William Scott's The Model
of Poesy has made it across the Atlantic and is now available in North
America, having been out in the UK for the past month. Sidneians will, I
hope, enjoy what is the most significant contemporary attempt to marry
Sidney's literary theory to his practice; Spenserians may like the
occasional mentions of Spenser and the attribution to him (Scott was
writing in 1599) of the Vewe; Scott's treatise is arguably the most
comprehensive and scholarly surviving work of Elizabethan poetics, so
there should be something for everyone. I've made a blog to gather
current and future information and links, including the freely available
online original spelling text:
