Richard Barnfield is one of the most significant poets of the Elizabethan era, and this volume brings together a collection of his finest work from the years 1594-1598. With a style that combines the incisive satire of his friend and mentor Shakespeare with a versatile and emotive lyricism all his own, Barnfield's verses are sure to delight and astonish modern readers as they have done for centuries. Whether touching on themes of love, beauty, or the vicissitudes of life, his poetry is marked by its authentic and powerful voice.
