The chronicle is by no means continuous, and is varied by fictitious episodes, the best known of which is the idyll in the fourth book of the loves of Argentine, the daughter of the king of Deira, and the Danish prince, Curan.
His book, perhaps on account of its patriotic subject, was very popular, but it is difficult to understand how Francis Meres came to rank him with Spenser as the chief heroical poets of the day, and to institute a comparison between him and Euripides.

There are great collections of the whole works of the poets, like that of Chalmers; there are innumerable volumes of 'Beauties' of a more or less unsatisfactory kind; there are Selections from single poets; there are a few admirable volumes, like that of Mr.
It has been, to collect as many of the best and most characteristic of their writings as should fully represent the great poets, and at the same time to omit no one who is poetically considerable.
The exceptions that we have made are in the case of the Scotch poets (though with them it is a matter of language than of orthography), and of Spenser, who is so intentionally archaic that his spelling is peculaiar, and is a part of himself.

 The Digital Cultures Project: William Warner: SEL Review
Ezell argues that this practice appealed to men and women who wanted to circulate their writing to others, but who had a host of reasons to avoid the public glare of print publication: modesty, the personal nature of a private topic (a birth, a wedding), the hazards and difficulty of the London book trade.
Even for a poet with public ambitions like Alexander Pope, Ezell demonstrates that we need, especially for the early career, an understanding of manuscript circulation as a complement to the oft-told story of his prowess in working the market in printed books.
For example, in the seventeenth century the male traveler, by coming to know the foreign as feminine, both risks and affirms his masculinity through travel; by the nineteenth century it is possible for a woman to be a competent observer of the foreign.

 Chapter &#147;Ward <i>to</i> Warton of W by Biographical Dictionary of English Literature
Warner, Susan (1819-1885).—writer of tales, born at New York, and wrote, under the name of “Elizabeth Wetherell”, a number of stories, of which The Wide, Wide World (1851) had an extraordinary popularity.
Warner, William (1558-1609).—Poet, born in London or Yorkshire, studied at Oxford, and was an attorney in London.
The plain-spoken, jolly humour, homely, lively, direct tales, vigorous patriotic feeling, and rough-and-tumble metre of Warner’s muse, and its heterogeneous accumulation of material—history, tales, theology, antiquities—must have appealed to a lower and wider audience than Spenser’s charmed verse.

 Hypothesis and the Novel
The more technical aspects of the topic, "fiction," are managed chiefly through cross references and in other articles but Marmontel allows himself a paragraph praising the new "esprit philosophique" as condemning "extravagant fictions, while embracing poetic fictions that respect probability and verisimilitude because the new philosophy, which "observes, penetrates, and unfolds nature.
Following classical literary theory, Fielding allotted the "possible" to historians relating proven, thoroughly witnessed fact (which can compel belief through incontrovertible evidence), while ceding the "marvelous" to poets as tellers of miraculous events that are credible only to audiences already convinced of their truth through belief in myth or religion.

 Maryland Marine Notes: July-August 1998 Spotlight - Of Words and Water: Literature and the Bay
From the effusions of Captain John Smith to the gripping narrative of escaped slave Frederick Douglass to the contemporary ironies of John Barth and the lyrical descriptions of William Warner, the Chesapeake has inspired powerful writing in both fiction and nonfiction.
To paraphrase the Roman poet Horace, "The purpose of literature is to delight and to teach." It is not enough to "teach" (as would, say, history or science); or to "delight" (as would, say, some forms of popular culture) - literature does both at once.
While Warner and Horton focus on the Bay, they continue a branch of American writing that may have begun with Thoreau but which has evolved through such nature writers as Aldo Leopold and Wallace Stegner.

 The New Criterion | March 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Beginning with her first novel, Lolly Willowes (1926), she treated the instinct for escape with a level of delicacy, humor, and respect that exposed it for what it really is: the defense of one’s very soul.
Since her death, her work has found a home under the feminist umbrella: feminist because many of her characters were women in search of some variety of independence and also because she was a lesbian who lived openly with her long-time lover, the poet Valentine Ackland, and published their love letters after Valentine’s death.
But while she could fairly be called a feminist, her fiction is not, I would say, feminist so much as a plea for the freedom and integrity of every person, regardless of sex.
