Like many poets of his time, Beaumont drew heavily on classical mythology and history, as well as the Christian faith, for inspiration.The poems in this collection cover a wide range of topics, from love and romance to war and politics. Many of them are written in a highly formal and ornate style, with intricate rhyme schemes and complex metaphors.Despite his considerable talent, Beaumont is not as well-known today as some of his contemporaries.
