John Hall's sixteenth century poetical miscellanies are gathered in one volume for the first time. First edition thus, found in the unclipped dustwrapper. John Hall's Court of Virtue covers a huge range of topics, such as Tudor politics, religion, astrology, astronomy, education, costume, botany, births, ballads, and popular entertainment. As well as offering considerable insight into middle-class life in Elizabethan England, it is also an important document in the war being waged against poetry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Following a the poems and musical scores, the reader can find a bibliographical description of the four surviving copies. In the publisher's original green cloth binding. Externally, rather smart. Lightly bumped to the head and tail of the spine, and one of the extremities. The dust wrapper very lightly foxed, with a little bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages throughout. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 865N54
