Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Decameron, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Ten Conversations on English Poets and Poetry, Particularly of the Reigns of Elizabeth and James I
Bibliographical Decam eron, a work of far deeper research and far wider learning than the author can pretend to. Yet the subject of these inquiries, if not as curious and recondite, is at least as inviting and important, for, as a living critic has well said, poetry is the stuff of which our life is made it is not a mere frivolous accomplishment - the tri?ing amusement of a few idle readers or leisure hours - it has been the study and delight of mankind in all ages.
