The collection features not only Waller's and Denham's poems but also includes a biography and critical commentary, giving readers insight into the authors' lives and the context in which they wrote. The focus of this anthology appears to be on themes of love, beauty, and political commentary, intertwined with reflections on the nature of poetry itself. The opening of the work presents a biographical account of Edmund Waller, emphasizing the complexity of his life as both a poet and a political figure. It discusses Waller's early life, education, and entry into political life at a young age, highlighting moments that shaped both his character and his poetic voice. The narrative explores Waller's romantic pursuits, particularly his affection for the Lady Dorothy Sidney, and his notorious political intrigues during a tumultuous time in English history. This beginning sets the stage for understanding not only Waller's poetry but also the man behind it, revealing a mix of gallantry, aspiration, and moral ambiguity that permeates his verses.
