	Literary Criticism (1400-1800) \| Denham, John \| INTRODUCTION
		Denham was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1615, the only son of Sir John Denham and his second wife, Eleanor Moore.
		In 1667 Denham suffered a bout of madness; the causes have never been clearly determined, though some have suggested that it was brought on by his wife's infidelity.
		It is Denham's influence on Dryden, Pope, Johnson, and others writers of the eighteenth century, and his role in the development of neoclassicism, that make him a subject of ongoing critical interest and study.

	English Poetry
		The poets who began to emerge in the 1930s had two things in common; they had all been born too late to have any real experience of the pre-World War I world and they grew up in a period of social, economic and political turmoil.
		These poets turned to French models rather than either the New Country poets or English-language modernism, and their work was to prove of importance to later English experimental poets as it broadened the scope of the English avant-garde tradition.
		John Betjeman and Stevie Smith, who were two of the most significant poets of this period, stood outside all schools and groups.

	The Young Enthusiast » Sir John Denham: Cooper’s Hill (1655)
		Poets don’t owe their talent to Parnassus or the Stream of Helicon; rather, those things owe their existence to poets because poets are the ones who made them up, or at least the ones who imbued them with their significance.
		Denham characterizes the move toward social equality as a positive trend aligned with Christian principles such as moderation, charity and humbleness.
		Throughout the poem Denham has been referring obliquely to how these principles operate in nature (such as how the banks of the Thames rise and fall according to certain environmental factors) and his final assertion that we should follow nature’s example is more powerful for it.

		There is no suggestion in reference to Denham's house during his short-lived and ill-fated ownership that it was intended for anyone's occupation other than his own.
		A fine was levied by Denham and Pulteney in favour of Richard Graham of Clifford's Inn, gentleman, Burlington's agent or steward, in trust for the Earl and Countess.

		He who draws noble delights from the sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

	Compass of the Catoptric Past: John Glassco
		F.R. Scott, George Johnston, A.J.M. Smith, Fred Gogswell, Jay Macpherson, John Robert Colombo, and Ralph Gustafson are among the twenty-two authors to have their translations recorded in the anthology.
		Since he, too, is a poet, what may also be exposed is the translator's own temper, his own moral values.
		Glassco omits stanzas 5-9 — here the poet sees herself in the dress "de luxe et de péché" (st. 5) and is moved to hope by God's love and mercy made tangible in the sacraments — to continue from stanza 10, which returns to the soul's loneliness, pain, and malady.

		John Churton Collins received a solid education at Oxford, and had published highly regarded editions of the works of John Dryden and of the playwright Cyril Tourneur.
		John Churton Collins thought the reception given Gosse a disgusting example of logrolling, and he thought Gosse’s book the latest iniquity in the catalogue of crimes against literary scholarship and pedagogy then being perpetrated by the British university.
		When John was nine years old, Henry Ramsay Collins signed on, for vague reasons of ill health, to be a ship’s doctor on a vessel bound for Australia and, in the harbor in Melbourne, fell off a pier, broke his leg, went into the hospital, was given a diagnosis of consumption, and died.

	Landscaping the field of discourse: Political slant and poetic slope in Sir John Denham's "Cooper's Hill" ...
		In August of 1642, when Sir John Denham first published "Cooper's Hill," England was in a state of crisis.
		I include reference to Denham's hostile readers not because my analysis itself seeks to be hostile to Denham but because such a perspective is necessary to an argument about Denham's own hostilities.
		Within the Geertzian epistemology there is no ultimate escape from the risks of interpretation nor, perhaps, from the charge of partisanship, at least in the attenuated sense in which the cultural conflicts of Denham's age resonate with those of the present.

	Words Without Borders -> How to Read a Translation
		Dryden’s Virgil abandons the unrhymed verse of the Latin poem for English couplets while cribbing lines from a previous translator, the poet Sir John Denham.
		By the end of the seventeenth century, the blank verse of Shakespeare and Milton had lost cultural capital to the couplet, so that a poet as talented and celebrated as Dryden could make the latter seem to be the most natural vehicle for a Latin poem written in a completely different verse form.
		The translator is no stand-in or ventriloquist for the foreign author, but a resourceful imitator who rewrites the original to appeal to another audience in a different language and culture, often in a different period.

	John Denham, "Cooper's Hill"
		Denham puns on two meanings of style: one is "Any thing with a sharp point" (including writing instruments); the other is "Title; appellation" (Johnson).
