"This fully annotated edition of the poet and theorist's major work reveals a mind intensely engaged with different-even opposing-perspectives on philosophical and literary problems. Both innovative and influential, Daniel was an Elizabethan poet coming to terms with the social milieu, intellectual constructs, and poetic modes of the Jacobean era. His verse epistles illuminate the complex politics of poetic patronage, and the popular Complaint of Rosamund and Letter from Octavia give rare insight into early modern woman's predicament. Daniel's Defense was a pivotal text for Renaissance English poetics."

Samuel Daniel: Selected Poetry and a Defense of Rhyme

Daniel, Samuel

Poetry

"This monumental study of the elite social environment of the Elizabethan court fuses two of the most productive trends in current Renaissance studies: the court as the center of artistic consumption and patronage, and the circulation of literary texts in manuscripts. The ""courtly aesthetic"" is investigated for the role poetry played in the lives of those at court, rather than the efforts of outsiders to influence the court through poetry. Part I, a critical history of the verse, elucidates the social, cultural, and political dimensions of the works and their authors. Part II provides biographies of 32 courtier poets, with generous selections of their poetry."

History & Criticism

Bartolomeo Sacchi, called Platina - soldier, schoolmaster, student, papal administrator, prisoner, author, librarian, propagandist, proto-typical Italian humanist - composed On Right Good Pleasure and Good Health between 1463 and 1465, apparently for his enjoyment and that of his friends. Drawing upon sources from Pliny to the Arab physician Ibn Butlan to the celebrated chef Martino d'Rossi, Platina in ten books explores all aspects of food and health: philosophic, dietetic, aesthetic, dramatic. The first humanist to give thoughtful consideration to the full presence of food and drink in his and other cultures, Platina discusses, among other topics, proper table setting, the salubrious advantages of fresh air, appropriate rest and motion, sexual pleasure, and sleep. His extensive collection of recipes allow for an understanding of the concern for health and physical satisfaction of the fifteenth-century Italian landed class. The full Latin text was prepared by M.E. Milham for Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies.
