Sham Prophecy
Detail
The Sham Prophecy, anonymous Restoration Satire
Once though to be by John Wilmot, the Second Earl of Rochester, this "Sham Prophecy" exists in different versions and formats; it was even reportedly inscribed in the walls of an abbey. Dated "23 May 1297" in at least one version, the prophecy tells of a time in 1678 when the man call'd Oates shall bee in danger to bee devoured." Titus Oates was the infamous architect of the fictitious conspiracy known as the "Popish Plot" that ignited anti-Catholic paranoia in 1678-1681.

III. The Scribal Publication of Verse
Detail
THE SCRIBAL PUBLICATION OF VERSE: The scribal “publication” of these poems was probably as effective as print, since even now over 4,000 extant manuscript texts attest to an extraordinary rate of production. Survival rates vary in puzzling ways: in spite of the value they must have had even then, the survival rate of poems in Donne’s own hand is extraordinarily low: only one survives, and it was discovered n 1970. Scribal circulation was the central mode of publication for poets like Donne, Thomas Traherne, Andrew Marvell, or Katherine Phillips, most of whose poetry was not printed until after their deaths.
