书籍简介

伊丽莎白时代(1558-1603)的相对和平与繁荣催生了文学史上最富有成果的时代之一。抒情诗、散文和戏剧在16世纪的英国蓬勃发展，这些作品融合了中世纪传统和文艺复兴的乐观主义。

这本选集用大量优雅精致的诗歌来赞美伊丽莎白时代的诗人的智慧和富有想象力的创造力。亮点包括阿斯特罗弗尔和斯特拉的十四行诗，作者是菲利普·西德尼爵士——一位学者、诗人、评论家、朝臣、外交官、士兵和英国文艺复兴时期的理想人物;埃德蒙·斯宾塞的诗歌，他的作品结合了浪漫、寓言、冒险和道德;威廉·莎士比亚的十四行诗，他卓越的诗歌天才超越了时代。其他著名的贡献者包括约翰·多恩(《去抓住陨落的星星》)、本·琼森(《用你的眼睛为我干杯》)和克里斯托弗·马洛(《热情的牧羊人致爱》)。这里收录了迈克尔·德雷顿、塞缪尔·丹尼尔和富尔克·格雷维尔等不太知名的人物的诗歌，还有弗朗西斯·培根、伊丽莎白一世女王和沃尔特·罗利等其他领域的知名人物的诗歌，他们的诗歌为我们了解时代精神提供了宝贵的见解。

The relative peace and prosperity of the Elizabethan age (1558-1603) fostered the growth of one of the most fruitful eras in literary history. Lyric poetry, prose, and drama flourished in sixteenth-century England in works that blended medieval traditions with Renaissance optimism.

This anthology celebrates the wit and imaginative creativity of the Elizabethan poets with a generous selection of their graceful and sophisticated verse. Highlights include sonnets from Astrophel and Stella, written by Sir Philip Sidney -- a scholar, poet, critic, courtier, diplomat, soldier, and ideal English Renaissance man; poems by Edmund Spenser, whose works combined romance with allegory, adventure, and morality; and sonnets by William Shakespeare, whose towering poetic genius transcends the ages. Other celebrated contributors include John Donne (Go, and catch a fallen star), Ben Jonson (Drink to me only with thine eyes), and Christopher Marlowe (The Passionate Shepherd to His Love). The poetry of lesser-known figures such as Michael Drayton, Samuel Daniel, and Fulke Greville appears here, along with verses by individuals better known in other fields -- Francis Bacon, Queen Elizabeth I, and Walter Raleigh -- whose poems offer valuable insights into the spirit of the age.
