Meanwhile the poems composed by the chief dramatists Shakspere's 'Venus and Adonis, Marlowe's 'Hero and Leander, Marston's 'Pygmalion, and Beaumont's 'Hermaphrodite' are all of them conceived in the Italian style, by men who had either studied Southern literature, or had submitted to its powerful æsthetic influences.
