Mirror for Magistrates, Volume 1 by Joseph Haslewood
"Mirror for Magistrates, Volume 1" by Joseph Haslewood is a collection of English poems published in 1559. This Tudor-era work features various authors retelling the tragic downfalls of historical figures, conceived as a continuation of earlier medieval literature. The poems present ghosts examining their deeds in mirrors, offering warnings to magistrates and leaders who might learn from past errors. Initially suppressed for political reasons, the work evolved through multiple editions, shifting from
critical assessments of recent history to celebrations of England's legendary past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
