NOTES TO PP. 47–59<br />
33 Ben Jonson, p. 569. The recent rediscovery of Jonson’s copy of the 1617 Folio of<br />
Spenser’s Faerie Queen: The Shepheards Calendar; Together With the Other Works of<br />
England’s Arch Poet has helped to counter, and to complicate, the “legendary”<br />
differences between the two poets as largely reported by Drummond. See James<br />
A.Riddell and Stanley Stewart, Jonson’s Spenser: Evidence and Historical Criticism,<br />
Pittsburgh, PA: Duquesne University Press, 1995.<br />
34 Ben Jonson, p. 586.<br />
35 Stella P.Revard, “Pindar and Jonson’s Cary-Morison Ode,” in Classic and Cavalier:<br />
Essays on Jonson and the Sons of Ben, ed. Claude J.Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth,<br />
Pittsburgh, PA: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1982, p. 17.<br />
36 Anne Barton, Ben Jonson, Dramatist, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1984,<br />
chaps 12, 14; and Robert N.Watson, Ben Jonson’s Parodic Strategy: Literary<br />
Imperialism in the Comedies, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1987, ch. 8.<br />
37 Quoted from Peterson, Imitation and Praise in the Poems of Ben Jonson, p. 215.<br />
3 PATRIOTIC AND POPULAR POETS<br />
1 T.S.Eliot, Selected Essays, New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1964, p. 247 (“The<br />
Metaphysical Poets”).<br />
2 A handsomely produced modern selection has been edited by William B.Hunter, The<br />
English Spenserians: The Poetry of Giles Fletcher, George Wither, Michael Drayton,<br />
Phineas Fletcher, and Henry More, Salt Lake City, UT: University of Utah Press, 1977.<br />
Further selections of all but Taylor’s poetry can be found in The Later Renaissance in<br />
England: Nondramatic Verse and Prose, 1600–1660, ed. Herschel Baker, Boston, MA:<br />
Houghton Mifflin, 1973. Joan Grundy, The Spenserian Poets: A Study in Elizabethan<br />
and Jacobean Poetry, London: Edward Arnold, 1969, provides a valuable introduction<br />
to the subject. The most important revaluation of the Spenserians is the chapter in<br />
David Norbrook, Poetry and Politics in the English Renaissance, London: Routledge &<br />
Kegan Paul, 1984, entitled “The Spenserians and King James, 1603–16.” By<br />
including patriotic with popular poets in this chapter, I am departing a bit from the<br />
more canonical line of Spenserian poets as represented by Hunter and Grundy.<br />
3 The Works of Michael Drayton, ed. J.William Hebel, 5 vols, 1931–41; repr. Oxford:<br />
Basil Blackwell, 1961, vol. IV:vi, and vol. III:206, respectively. Further references to<br />
Drayton’s works will be to this edition.<br />
4 Representative of these phases, in chronological order, are two earlier books, Bernard<br />
Newdigate’s Michael Drayton and His Circle, 1941, repr. Oxford: Basil Blackwell,<br />
1961, and Richard F.Hardin’s Michael Drayton and the Passing of Elizabethan England,<br />
Lawrence, KS: University of Kansas Press, 1973; then David Norbrook, Poetry and<br />
Politics in the English Renaissance, ch. 8 (“The Spenserians and King James”), Richard<br />
Helgerson, “The Land Speaks: Cartography, Chorography, and Subversion in<br />
Renaissance England,” Representations 16 (1986):51–85, and Jean R.Brink, Michael<br />
Drayton Revisited, Boston, MA: G.K.Hall, 1990; and, most recently, Thomas<br />
Cogswell, “The Path to Elizium ‘Lately Discovered’: Drayton and the Early Stuart<br />
Court,” The Huntington Library Quarterly 54 (1991):207–33, and Claire McEachern,<br />
The Poetics of English Nationhood, 1590–1612, Cambridge: Cambridge University<br />
Press, 1996, ch. 4 (“Putting the ‘poly’ back into Poly-Olbion: British union and the<br />
border of the English nation”).<br />
5 The OED describes “chorography” as “a term, with its family of words, greatly in<br />
vogue” in the seventeenth century, and proceeds to define it as “the art or practice<br />
of describing, or of delineating on a map or chart, particular regions, or districts; as<br />
distinguished from geography, taken as dealing with the earth in general, and (less<br />
distinctly) from topography, which deals with particular places, as towns.”<br />
