Our Lady of Pain is the first selection of Swinburne's poetry to focus precisely on what his early readers found most objectionable: erotic passion, in both its 'normal' and 'perverse' varieties. Swinburne's treatment of physical passion, and the varieties of passion about which he chose to write, retain the power to shock.
An anthology which includes works by several of the poets of the Spanish rennaissance and "siglo de oro": Boscan, Garcilaso de la Vega, Montemayor, Cervantes, the Argensolas, Gongora, Quevedo and others. It features translators who are 16th and 17th century British poets: Yong, Sidney, Shelton, Fanshawe, Stanley, Dummmond and Ayres.
A reproduction of Herrick's only publication during his lifetime, seen through the press by the author himself in 1648. The book contains more than a thousand poems by one of the great lyric poets of the Caroline era. This edition reproduces the original spelling, in all its quirkiness, and copies the layout, albeit in a larger page-size.
