More about the book
The life and works of Michael Drayton, a 16th-century English poet, reflect a journey through personal and historical themes. His early spiritual poems faced censorship, yet he gained recognition with pastoral works and historical epics. Drayton's involvement in theater included collaborations with notable playwrights, though his poetic contributions were more celebrated. Despite initial admiration at Elizabeth I's court, his reception soured under James I. His later works, including the extensive Poly-Olbion and various historical pieces, solidified his legacy, culminating in his burial at Westminster Abbey.
