Irish Poetry
Irish poetry is poetry written by poets from Ireland. It is mainly written in Irish language, Irish and English, though some is in Scottish Gaelic literature, Scottish Gaelic and some in Hiberno-Latin. The complex interplay between the two main traditions, and between both of them and other poetries in English and Scottish Gaelic literature, Scottish Gaelic, has produced a body of work that is both rich in variety and difficult to categorise. The earliest surviving poems in Irish date back to the 6th century, while the first known poems in English from Ireland date to the 14th century. Although there has always been some cross-fertilization between the two language traditions, an English-language poetry that had absorbed themes and models from Irish did not finally emerge until the 19th century. This culminated in the work of the poets of the Irish Literary Revival in the late 19th and early 20th century. Towards the last quarter of the 20th century, modern Irish poetry tended ...

Richard Johnson (16th Century)

All that is known of his biography is from internal evidence in his works: he was a London apprentice in the 1590s, and a freeman after 1600. Works Johnson's most famous work is '' The Famous Historie of the Seaven Champions of Christendom'' (c. 1596). He added a second and a third part in 1608 and 1616. His other stories include: * ''Nine Worthies of London'' (1592); * ''The Pleasant Walks of Moorefields'' (1607); * ''The Pleasant Conceites of Old Hobson'' (1607), the hero being a well-known haberdasher in the Poultry; * '' The Most Pleasant History of Tom a Lincolne'' (1607); * ''A Remembrance of Robert Earle of Salisbury'' (1612); * ''Looke on Me, London'' (1613); * ''The History of Tom Thumbe'' (1621). ''The Crown Garland of Golden Roses set forth in Many Pleasant new Songs and Sonnets'' (1612) was reprinted for the Percy Society in 1842 and 1845.

Scottish Poetry
Poetry of Scotland includes all forms of verse written in Brythonic, Latin, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, French, English and Esperanto and any language in which poetry has been written within the boundaries of modern Scotland, or by Scottish people. Much of the earliest Welsh literature was composed in or near Scotland, but only written down in Wales much later. These include ''The Gododdin'', considered the earliest surviving verse from Scotland. Very few works of Gaelic poetry survive from this period and most of these in Irish manuscripts. ''The Dream of the Rood'', from which lines are found on the Ruthwell Cross, is the only surviving fragment of Northumbrian Old English from early Medieval Scotland. In Latin early works include a "Prayer for Protection" attributed to St Mugint, and ''Hiberno-Latin#Altus Prosator, Altus Prosator'' ("The High Creator") attributed to St Columba. There were probably filidh who acted as poets, musicians and historians. After the "de-gallicisation" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William Lauder (poet)
William Lauder ( – February 1573) was a sixteenth-century Scottish cleric, playwright, and poet. Early life William Lauder was a native of the Lothians. The precise date and place of his birth, or anything regarding his family connections, have not yet been ascertained, although he is almost certainly a member of one of the great Lauder families of that time - Lauder of The Bass, or Lauder of Haltoun. It appears that he had a liberal education and was probably intended for The Church. In the Registers of the University of St. Andrews the name ''Willielmus Lauder, Lothian'' is among the students who were incorporated in St Salvator's College in the year 1537. Ministry Upon leaving the university the poet may have taken Holy Orders as a Roman Catholic priest and been connected with one of the religious establishments of Edinburgh. It is not known when he joined the Reformers, whether before, or subsequent to, the establishment of Protestantism, in August 1560. However about 15 ...

Samuel Rowlands
Samuel Rowlands (c. 1573–1630) was an English author of pamphlets in prose and verse which reflect the follies and humours of lower middle-class life in his day. He seems to have had no literary reputation at the time, but his work throws much light on the development of popular literature and social life in London, where he spent his life. His contact with the middle and lower classes of society included working in 1600–1615 for William White, and then George Loftus, booksellers, who published Rowlands's pamphlets in this time. Selected sacred and secular poems *''The Betraying of Christ'' (1598) *''The Letting of Humour's Blood in the Head-vaine'' (epigrams and satires) and ''A Mery Meetinge, or tis Mery when Knaves mete'' (1600) – the two latter being publicly burnt by order, but republished later under other names (''Humors Ordinarie'' and ''The Knave of Clubbes'') *''Greene's Ghost haunting Conie-Catchers'' (1602), which he pretended to have edited from Greene's papers, ...

Martin Peerson
Martin Peerson (or Pearson, Pierson, Peereson) (between 1571 and 1573 – December 1650 or January 1651 and buried 16 January 1651) was an English composer, organist and virginalist. Despite Roman Catholic leanings at a time when it was illegal not to subscribe to Church of England beliefs and practices, he was highly esteemed for his musical abilities and held posts at St Paul's Cathedral and, it is believed, Westminster Abbey. His output included both sacred and secular music in forms such as consort music, keyboard pieces, madrigals and motets. Life and career From Peerson's will and the March marriage registers, it appears that he was the son of Thomas and Margaret Peerson of March, Cambridgeshire, in England. It is believed that Martin Peerson was born in the town of March between 1571 and 1573, as records show that his parents married in 1570, but a "Margaret Peersonn" was married in 1573.. It therefore seems that Thomas Peerson died a few years after 1570 and that Martin's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
