The multi-faceted nature of dissenting verse is demonstrated, from the sonnets of the Quaker Martin Mason to the self-consciously 'witty' acrostic used to commemorate the Fifth Monarchist Vavasor Powell's death, to the Quaker schismatic John Perrot's 'A sea of the seed's sufferings'.
'This handsome set of three volumes is the most significant of the recent contributions to the study of English literary culture in the later seventeenth century.' Journal of the Northern Renaissance 'the publication of this unflinchingly activist seventeenth-century poetry with its superb introduction by an eminent historian is an essential resource for the expanding field of Dissenting Studies.' Baptist Quarterly 'an excellent work of scholarship' Bunyan Studies Review 'Southcombe's poems, and his analysis of them, portray an intriguing variety of Protestant Nonconformist attitudes' English Historical Review
