Description

Discover the hidden literary world of Henry Hall (c. 1656-1707) through this comprehensive study. While known as the Organist of Hereford Cathedral and a composer of church music, Hall was also a lively and irreverent writer. This work explores his collection of roughly 150 mainly unpublished poems and songs, offering a rare look into the life of a fierce Jacobite opponent of William III and Mary II. This volume provides insight into Hall's diverse writing style, ranging from sharp political satires to personal epistles written to his male friends. Readers can explore his local satires, drinking songs, love poems, and riddles. The collection also includes tributes to significant national figures of the era, such as John Dryden and Henry Purcell. As the first study of Hall's poetic output, this book serves as an essential resource for those interested in 17th-century history, music, and political literature.
