The English Ode To 1660

The English Ode To 1660: An Essay In Literary History is a book written by Robert Shafer and first published in 1918. The book is a comprehensive study of the English ode, a type of lyrical poem that was popular in England during the 17th century. Shafer explores the history of the ode, tracing its origins back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, and examines its development in England during the Renaissance and Restoration periods. The book also provides an in-depth analysis of the works of major English poets such as John Milton, Andrew Marvell, and John Dryden, and discusses the themes and styles of their odes. Shafer's work is considered a seminal contribution to the study of English literature, and is still widely read and referenced by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
