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?

[edit]

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]
