The Pulpit, Playhouse and Page seminar series continues with a talk from Prof. Michelle O’Callaghan (University of Reading)
’”Trim songes of love they wyll compile”: Reforming verse and godly recreations’
Anthologies and the poems they gathered had rich social lives. This paper will focus on how John Hall read Songes and Sonettes alongside The Court of Venus in his Courte of Vertue, recrafting and reforming these ’Trim songes of love’ into lyrics suitable for godly recreation.
This seminar will be held on zoom at 3pm (GMT) on Thursday 19th November:
