Summary "Speculum Amantis" by A. H. Bullen is a collection of love poems compiled from rare songbooks and miscellanies of the seventeenth century. This anthology, likely written in the late 19th century, focuses on the romantic themes and poetic styles prevalent during that era, showcasing a variety of poets and their works. The collection aims to capture the essence of love and desire, weaving together historical and literary traditions. The opening of "Speculum Amantis" sets the stage for a lively exploration of love poetry, beginning with an introduction that welcomes readers both serious and playful, while cautioning the more prudish to step away. Bullen notes the changing social norms around love poetry between the seventeenth century and his own time, explaining that the collection contains verses that might not have been suitable for polite company in his era but were perfectly accepted then. The reader is treated to a selection of verses that cover everything from playful teasing to profound musings about desire and longing, each illustrating the rich tapestry of romantic expression that characterized the period.
