Peter Davidson's admirably even-handed anthology.

Alison Shell, The Seventeenth Century, Vol.XIV, No.1., Spring 1999.

The section on religious poetry is particularly well-designed to showcase writers who are well-known in other contexts than the poetic.

Alison Shell, The Seventeenth Century, Vol.XIV, No.1., Spring 1999.

Davidson's book casts a wide net, with a good instinct for what it would be annoying to leave out or redundant to include. The volume, in particular, is exemplary in including plenty of verse from Scottish, Irish and Welsh writers, with translations where necessary ... Where most anthologies are either a florilegium or a work of salvage, Davidson's contrives to be both.

Peter Davidson has, to his great credit, created a book which allows the verse from this period to speak its own language. Colin Burrow/LRB 7 Jan 1999

Poetry and Revolution is a radical re-examination of the canon of mid-seventeenth-century verse. The author questions and discards the old description of the period as 'Cavalier Poetry' and advances instead a tumultuous, pluralistic canon rich in radical writing and poetry by those marginalized until recently in historical and literary accounts of the period. As well as a substantial quantity of women's verse, much of it previously unpublished, Poetry and Revolution contains Irish, Scots, Scots Gaelic, and Welsh verse. This is in sympathy with the current debate about the Civil Wars which challenges the old exclusive focus on England and sees the events of the mid century in a wider context. The book has very full historical and bibliographical information, explication of all allusions, translations of all verse not in English, old spelling texts derived in every case from primary sources, and a wide ranging introduction covering such subjects as canon-formation, historical fiction, and the revision of the literary history of the period.

This is a re-examination of the canon of mid-17th-century verse. It discards previous conceptions of the period and advances a pluralistic canon which challenges the exclusive focus on England by including marginalized texts by women and Irish, Scots, Scots Gaelic and Welsh verse.
