How Gabriel Harvey read tragedy
In 1579, Gabriel Harvey bound together in a composite collection a surprising group of texts: an Italian grammar, an Italian translation of Terence’s comedies, Lodovico Dolce’s Italian rifacimenti of Euripides’ Medea and Seneca’s Thyestes , and Euripides’ Hecuba and Iphigenia in Erasmus’ Latin. The volume is now dispersed, but all its parts survive. This essay explores the story of this hitherto unknown artefact and what it reveals about Harvey’s…
The non- Ovidian Elizabethan epyllion: Thomas Watson, Christopher Marlowe, Richard Barnfield
Richard Barnfield's epyllic poetics is important, because it hints at literary and classical effects that we do not associate with English narrative poetry of the Elizabethan 1590s. Hellens Rape displays an allusive fluency in Greek material, and a well-developed reflection on the resources of the literary prequel and of the little epic as a genre. This chapter argues that this constellation of interests was there in the poetic culture of the ear…

Milton, drama, and Greek texts: Preface
This collection of essays explores the connection between Milton’s approach to drama and his engagement with Greek antiquity. Paying attention to early Christian and early modern interpretive traditions as well as Greek literature, it situates the power of this conjunction for Milton within the larger project of the northern Renaissance
Homer and Greek tragedy in early modern England's theatres: An introduction
This special issue’s opening essay traces the circulation of Homer’s epics and Greek tragedies in sixteenth-century England, and explores their consequences for England’s commercial theatres. Bringing together new and familiar evidence on English pedagogy, translation, theatrical production, and printing, the authors argue both that these texts acquired significantly more visibility during this period than has been recognized, and that the stage …
The Homeric Question in the Sixteenth Century: Early Modern Scholarship and the Text of Homer
Gerard Falkenburg’s annotations on Homer reveal a type of philology rare in the Renaissance: Falkenburg probed the epics’ histories by analyzing their textual fault lines, as F. A. Wolf would do in 1795 when he revolutionized the study of Homer. Following in the footsteps of certain other scholars, Falkenburg alone arrived at a methodology for this sort of work, without publishing his observations. Obertus Giphanius did use them liberally in his …
