Mirror for Magistrates, Volume 2, Part 2 by Joseph Haslewood
"Mirror for Magistrates, Volume 2, Part 2" by Joseph Haslewood is a collection of English poems from the Tudor period. Various authors retell the tragic lives of historical figures, presenting their stories as cautionary tales for those in power. The poems feature ghosts examining their own deeds before a mirror, reflecting on their fatal errors. Originally conceived to continue earlier medieval works, this politically contentious collection evolved through multiple editions, shifting from
critical examinations of recent English nobility to celebratory accounts of legendary early Britons. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
