At the start of this volume, Gilfillan introduces readers to a selection of poets, detailing their backgrounds and contributions to literature. The opening section discusses William Habington, his life influenced by his family's tumultuous history, and highlights his intimate poetry, particularly the work "Castara." The text presents Habington's exploration of love and philosophy, capturing the poet's experiences and sentiments amidst the political and social turbulence of his time. Other poets mentioned include Joseph Hall and Richard Lovelace, continuing the examination of their unique styles and the historical context of their works. Overall, the beginning of this collection lays a rich foundation for understanding the lesser-known voices that contributed to British poetry, reflecting the varied expressions of human emotion and experience during this era.
