The World of John Taylor the Water-Poet 1578-1653

Bok av Bernard Capp
John Taylor was a prolific and colourful popular writer who gives us a unique picture of England from James I to the civil war through the eyes of a London waterman. This is the first full study of the self-styled `King's Water-Poet' who carved out a pioneering role for himself as a `media celebrity' and became a national institution.
