The original Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse, edited by Sir Edmund Chambers, appeared in 1932.
Sixty years later, however, in a changed world—after the Second World War and a post-war social revolution, and after Modernism, Structuralism, Post-Structuralism, and much else—the sixteenth century and its poetry have come to look rather different. And as Chambers's volume has receded further into the past, it has become more obviously not just a product but also an expression of its own time. But even when it appeared it must have seemed, at least to some readers, old fashioned.
