Barnes, Barnabe

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Barnes, Barnabe (c. 1569–c. 1609)

English poet and dramatist. Persuaded to write (if Thomas Nashe is to be believed) by Gabriel Harvey, he produced a collection of sonnets, elegies, odes, and madrigals entitled Parthenophil and Parthenophe (1593), and A Divine Century of Spiritual Sonnets (1595). His tragedy The Devil's Charter was printed in 1607 and performed before James I.

Barnes was born in Yorkshire, the son of the bishop of Durham, and studied at Oxford. For his style, which is highly elaborate and full of conceits, he has been regarded as a precursor of the metaphysical poets of the 17th century.
