Henry Peacham The Garden of Eloquence (London, 1593 [1577])

Henry Peacham (1546-1634) is well known in Renaissance studies for The Garden of Eloquence. First published in 1577, this stylistic rhetoric was innovative for being in the vernacular (as later would beGeorge Puttenham's The Arte of English Poesie). It reflects the influences of Johannes Susenbrotus (Epitome troporum ac schematum, 1540) and Richard Sherry (Treatise of Schemes and Tropes, 1550).
