The collection was registered in October that year and its success brought about a reissuing of the same in 1598 and new editions in 1599, 1600, and 1602. The collection reappeared seven more times before the year 1631 was over, the year of Drayton’s passing, and further reprintings were to follow before the end of the century. This critical edition sheds greater light on the literary skills and craftsmanship of this great English poet whom literary criticism has unfairly pushed to the margins in our anthologies of literature.
