I am concerned that Senesino's birth is dated precisely although all of the early references I can find to the singer give vague dates (e.g., ca. 1680) while Grove gives no date at all. What is the source that was used for his birthday?

Restoration literature?

If the epistles were written between 1724 and 1736, they would rather belong to the Augustan literature rather than to Restoration literature or am I wrong here? Proofreader (talk) 23:02, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This style of anonymous epistles was established in Restoration literature, and as such the academics writing on it have deemed it to be a part of Restoration literature. There is some flexibility of dating when considering literary genre/style. The cited journal article on the epistles clearly places it there. It’s possible another scholar might have a divergent opinion but this is the most in-depth source I could find on the epistles. 4meter4 (talk) 14:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. --Proofreader (talk) 16:39, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
