This article examines the concept of poetry miscellanies, which are collections of premodern poems that served as a way to transmit shorter verse and explore ideas about canon, form, and authorship. Miscellanies can take various forms, including printed or handwritten, and can include different languages and genres. The article discusses the differences between print and manuscript miscellanies and the implications of categorizing and defining these collections. The contributions in this special issue provide a broader understanding of early English miscellany studies, bridging the gap between medieval and early modern scholarship. The authors argue that miscellanies are not a fixed category, but rather a fluid and evolving form shaped by cultural and historical factors. They challenge the traditional periodization of literary history and offer new perspectives on the premodern miscellany's role in shaping English literary history. [Extracted from the article]
