Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Amanda, a Sacrifice to an Unknown Goddesse' is a celebrated collection of lyric poetry by Nicholas Hookes, showcasing the elegant and witty verse of the mid-17th century. This work stands as a quintessential example of the Cavalier and metaphysical styles that defined English literature during the Interregnum. Through a series of evocative poems, Hookes explores the profound depths of romantic devotion, addressing the eponymous Amanda with a blend of clever conceit, fervent passion, and graceful pastoral imagery.The volume captures the nuances of courtship and the emotional landscape of a loving heart, presenting a 'freewill offering' that remains both charming and sophisticated. Beyond its romantic central theme, the collection reflects the literary influences of the era, echoing the traditions of poets like Richard Crashaw and Thomas Carew. Hookes' work provides invaluable insight into the evolution of the English lyric, bridging the gap between late Elizabethan sensibilities and the approaching Restoration era.For readers and scholars of early modern literature, 'Amanda, a Sacrifice to an Unknown Goddesse' remains a significant testament to the enduring power of the love lyric and the sophisticated artistry of 17th-century poetic expression.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). An intruguing facsimile reprint of a 1653 poetical work by a former student of Trinity College, Cambridge, published in his graduation year. There is a single illustration of angels carrying a coffin. HOOKES, NICHOLAS (16281712), author of "Amanda," a Londoner by birth, was a king's scholar at Westminster School (Welch, Alumni Westmonast. p. 132). He was elected to a scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1649, and took the degree of B.A. in 1653. Dryden was his contemporary at Westminster, and followed him to Cambridge in 1650. In 1653 Hookes published a series of poems entitled "Amanda, a Sacrifice to an unknown Goddesse, or a Free-will offering of a Lovinge Heart to a Sweet-Heart," dedicated to the Hon. Edward Montagu, son of Lord Montagu of Boughton. The poems were written, he tells us in his preface, in praise of an entirely imaginary person. In the same year he also published "Miscellanea Poetica" (usually bound up with the "Amanda"), among which may be noticed a poem addressed to the famous Dr. Busby and a dialogue in Latin elegiacs, in which "Scholam Westmonasteriensem alloquuntur vicissim Cantabrigiæ et Oxoniæ genii."
