Edited and with an Introduction by Russell A. Fraser.
This delightful collection of sixteenth century poems, songs, and scores offers a plethora of interesting insights into Tudor and Elizabethan life. John Hall's sixteenth century poetical miscellanies are gathered in one volume for the first time. First edition thus, found in the unclipped dustwrapper. John Hall's Court of Virtue covers a huge range of topics, such as Tudor politics, religion, astrology, astronomy, education, costume, botany, births, ballads, and popular entertainment. As well as offering considerable insight into middle-class life in Elizabethan England, it is also an important document in the war being waged against poetry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
