The Use of Love Conventions in the Poetry of Robert Southwell
Abstract
There has been evident among some scholars a growing interest in the poetry of the Elizabethan Jesuit Robert Southwell. His poems were edited toward the end of the last century by Alexander Grosart, and a series of critical articles on Southwell's prose and poetry by Rev. Herbert Thurston began appearing in The Month some two decades lat- ER. These articles inspired the full critical study by Pierre Janelle, in which both prose and poetry were exam- ined in the light of Jesuit theory and practice during the Renaissance, and related also to contemporary English lit- erature.
