DLB 132: Sixteenth-Century British Nondramatic Writers, First Series (Dictionary of Literary Biography, 132)

By David A. Richardson and Gale Cengage Learning

As a group, this generation of poets lived during one of the most tumultuous periods of change in the history of England- a period in which state and culture moved from medieval to modern. Theirs was a warlike, various, and a tragical age, said poet Abraham Cowley best to write of, but worst to write in. Thus, it is not surprising that these third generation seventeenth-century British nondramatic poets would incline repeatedly to writing public, historical poetry. 24 ENTRIES INCLUDE: Aphra Behn, Ann Collins, Abraham Cowley, John Dryden, Anne Killigrew , Richard Lovelace, Andrew Marvell, John Milton, Katherine Philips, Thomas Traherne, Thomas Vaughan.
