Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the English literary works of Matthew Prior, renowned English poet and diplomat of the 17th and 18th centuries. It includes not only the poems contained in Prior's 1718 folio but also a wealth of previously unpublished material, adding a significant body of work to the Prior canon. The author has meticulously collated Prior's writings, offering fresh insights into his literary development and providing a deeper understanding of his contributions to English literature. The inclusion of drafts, variants, and fragments gives readers a unique glimpse into Prior's creative process and allows them to trace the evolution of his poetic thought. Thematic depth is a hallmark of Prior's work, and this book explores the complexities of his political, religious, and amorous verse. Prior's deft handling of form and language is also examined, showcasing his mastery of various poetic styles, including the Pindaric ode, the Horatian epistle, and the occasional poem. By situating Prior within the literary and historical context of his time, this book sheds light on his relationship to other writers and his engagement with the major intellectual and cultural currents of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The result is a comprehensive and engaging study that deepens our understanding and appreciation of one of England's most versatile and accomplished poets.
