Poetry and the creation of a Whig literary culture, 1681-1714

Description:

"This book offers a revisionist history of early eighteenth-century poetry. It demonstrates that many of the Whig writers frequently attacked as hacks and dunces were in fact successful and popular in their own time. This text maps the evolution of this poetic tradition, examining the relationship between literary and political culture in the early eighteenth-century"--Provided by publisher.
