"Seven Minor Epics of the English Renaissance (1596-1624)" by Barksted et al. is a collection of lesser-known narrative poems from the English Renaissance period. This compilation brings together seven distinct minor epics, or "epyllions," that showcase various themes of love and mythology, reflecting the genre's characteristics and stylistic conventions. The collection features works by both well-known and anonymous authors, with a focus on romantic and timeless struggles faced by its characters. The opening of the collection contains an introduction that outlines the significance of minor epics and their historical context within Renaissance literature. It details the selection of seven poems included in this volume, such as "Philos and Licia," "Pyramus and Thisbe," and "The Love of Dom Diego and Ginevra." The introduction highlights the contributions of various authors while also discussing the overarching themes, stylistic choices, and the unique circumstances surrounding the creation and publication of these works. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the narratives and the insights they provide into the cultural and literary milieu of their time.
