Inspired poetry and historical verse from Michael Drayton’s early and enduring voice.

This volume gathers a wide range of his work, from personal letters and tributes to peers to long, landscape-rich poems and national ballads. Readers will encounter lyrical praise, acrostic writing, and the expansive Poly-Olbion series, which surveys England’s rivers, towns, and landscapes with detailed, celebration-driven storytelling.

• Epistles and dedications that frame Drayton’s literary circle and his own ambitions
• The extensive Poly-Olbion sections, exploring England’s places, history, and geography through verse
• Devotional and moral pieces, including prayers and harmonies that reflect religious and civic themes
• Acrostic and partner poems that honor friends and patrons, with a strong sense of place and time

Ideal for readers of historical poetry, Restoration-era verse, and poems that weave geography, nation, and faith into a single, sweeping voice.
