Born into a later See also:generation than that of See also:Waller and See also:Denham, he rejected their reforms, and was the last to cling obstinately to the old See also:prosody and the conventional forms of See also:fancy. He is the frankest of all English poets in his preference of decadent and Alexandrine See also:schools of See also:imagination; among the ancients he admired Moschus, See also:Ausonius, and the Pervigilium Veneris; among the moderns, Joannes Secundus, Gongora and See also:Marino. The English metaphysical school closes in Stanley, in whom it finds its most delicate and autumnal exponent, who went on See also:weaving his fantastic conceits in elaborately artificial See also:measures far into the days of See also:Dryden and See also:- BUTLER

Butler. When Stanley turned to See also:prose, however, his See also:taste became trans-formed. He abandoned his decadents for the gravest masters of Hellenic thought. As an elegant See also:scholar of the illuminative See also:- ORDER

order, he secured a very high See also:place indeed throughout the second See also:half of the 17th See also:century. His History of Philosophy was See also:long the See also:principal authority on the progress of thought in See also:ancient See also:Greece. It took the See also:form of a See also:series of See also:critical See also:biographies of the philosophers, beginning with Thales; what Stanley aimed at was the providing of necessary See also:information concerning all " those on whom the attribute of See also:Wise was conferred." He is particularly full on the See also:great See also:Attic masters, and introduces, " not as a comical divertisement for the reader, but as a necessary supplement to the life of See also:Socrates," a See also:blank verse See also:translation of the Clouds of See also:Aristophanes. See also:Bentley is said to have had a very high appreciation of his scholarship, and to have made use of the
poet's copious notes, still in See also:manuscript (in the See also:British Museum), on See also:Callimachus.
Stanley's See also:original poems, which had been collected in 1651, were imperfectly reprinted in Sir S. See also:Egerton See also:Brydges's edition of 150 copies in 1514, but never since; his " Anacreon " was issued, with the See also:Greek text, by Mr Bullen in 1892. His prose See also:works have not been collected. (E.
