H. Bullen is a collection of poetry and song lyrics compiled from various song-books of the Elizabethan period, created in the late 19th century. This anthology serves as a companion volume to the Poetical Miscellanies that highlight the lyrical quality and artistic merit of works from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, presenting an assortment of lyrical styles that exemplify the creative voices of the time. The opening of this anthology introduces the aim and significance of the collection, detailing Bullen's intent to provide readers with lesser-known lyrics from Elizabethan song-books that may not be widely recognized even by specialists. He highlights the importance of composers and their reliance on true lyricists, mentioning prominent figures like William Byrd and John Dowland, whose works have shaped the landscape of English poetry and music. Bullen's careful curation reveals his commitment to preserving the beauty and complexity of Elizabethan lyrics, setting the stage for a diverse exploration of themes ranging from love and nature to personal lamentation that characterizes the period’s artistry.
