Re: Help with anthology
Ten suggestions I'd love to see in there:
1. Chidiock Tichborne, Lament
2. Walter Raleigh, "The
Lie"
3. Anon?Dowland? "Have you seen but a
white lily grow?"
4. Edward Dyer, "My Mind to me a Kingdom
is"
5. Anon. (from The Court of Venus),
"Disdain me not without desert"
6. Wm Elderton, "The true form and shape
of a monsterous child born in Stony StratfordŠthe year of our Lord
1565" (delicious 3-stanza broadside on ?Siamese twins)
7. Samuel Daniel, "Beauty, sweet love"
(Delia # 50)
8. Francis Quarles, "I am my
Beloved's"
9. Henry Vaughan, "The Retreat" or
"Peace"
10. George Peele, "His golden locks Time
hath to silver turned"

May I ask for some ideas even if they are
only marginally Spenserian or
Sidneyan? As Joe Black knows, I'm on the advisory board (as is he) of
a
projected anthology to be published by Broadview Press--the aim is to
give
Norton and Longmans et al. a run for their money. What we are missing
from
the Renaissance part is a small collection (oh say 20) poems by
the
unfamous. Not, in other words, Skelton, Wyatt, Surrey, Sidney (Philip
and
Mary), Shakespeare, Spenser, Donne, Herbert, Wroth, Lanyer, Herrick.
If
you have any suggestions, favorites, requests I'd love to have
them,
off-list or on. From c. 1500 to c. 1630. Not an emergency--just if
you
have time and inclination. Thanks. Anne
