Caelica

by Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke

A most distinguished figure of eighteenth century Elizabethan England--having held several key political posts from Secretary and Member of Parliament to Treasurer for the Navy--Fulke Greville was a highly idealistic yet deeply sagacious personality whose temperament made him much appreciated by the queen and the society of his time. This collection of poems reveals the poetic and deeply pensive side of this extraordinary man's strange interior universe. A delight for any lover of ancient literature and fine poetry. 149 pages. 6.25 x 9.5 inches.
