The Complete Poems

• Early Modern English language & literature (to Milton)
• Literature: history & criticism

“Drawing on manuscript evidence previously unavailable, María Jesús Pérez-Jáuregui has produced an edition of the poems of Henry Constable that is clearly superior to Joan Grundy’s work published some fifty years ago. The volume should elicit re-evaluations of the verse of this late Elizabethan poet and a deeper understanding of his involvement in and response to the religious and political crises of his time.” — Arthur F. Marotti, Wayne State University

“This volume represents a signal achievement. The canon of Henry Constable, based on important, substantive sources unknown to earlier editors, is presented here more fully and accurately than anything currently available, and the individual poems are expertly glossed and annotated. María Jesús Pérez-Jáuregui’s edition becomes at once the standard text and the essential starting point for all further analysis of Constable as a poet.” — Steven W. May, Emory University

María Jesús Pérez-Jáuregui received her doctorate in 2014 and is currently an associate professor in the Department of English and North-American Literature at the Universidad de Sevilla, Spain. Her research focuses on early modern poetry, sonnet-writing in particular, and the influence of religion on literary works, with special regard to lesser-known authors. The poetry of Henry Constable has long been a focus of her work, and is exemplified in her contributions to journals such as SEDERI, English Studies, and Studies in Philology, as well as various collected volumes. Her most recent essay is devoted to the notion of grace and the rewriting of the poetic careers of Constable and Barnabe Barnes.
