The Epigrams of Sir John Harington

Omtale

This is the first complete edition of Harington's Epigrams. Based solely on the three manuscripts arranged and revised by the author, it reveals Harington's elaborate theological and political design, which the distortions of posthumous editions have concealed for four centuries. With an extensive introduction, commentary and critical apparatus, and a text that highlights Harington's own revisions, this volume enables the reader for the first time to see Harington's Epigrams as an intricate and complex work of art.
