Full description
The "Source index to English clandestine satire 1660-1702" contains the entire body of indexes from Harold Love’s survey of 81 key manuscript verse anthologies from 27 libraries around the world. The manuscripts comprise satire and lampoons by anonymous writers and many late seventeenth century English poets including Rochester, Marvell, Dryden, Dorset, Sedley and Behn. The zipped file contains the individual indexes end to end, providing access to all copies of a particular item. Since titles and first lines vary considerably in the sources, it is recommended that scholars begin with the first-line index in pp. 303–414 of Harold Love’s English Clandestine Satire 1660–1702 (Oxford: OUP, 2004), which uses a standardised form of the first line. The additional essay "Basic stemmatology for students of early modern scribal anthologies" is included to introduce those without previous experience to some methods for constructing a scholarly text from a body of variant sources. Monash University researchers associated with Harold Love's source index include Meredith Sherlock, Felicity Henderson and Peter Groves.Notes
