Inhaltsangabe

This book explores a wide range of English and Scottish court poetry of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, including work by Skelton, Dunbar and others, and examines the ways in which the desire of court poets for legitimation tended to subvert the authority they claimed for their poetry.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This work is a challenging examination of eight poets associated with royal courts, English and Scottish, between 1485 and 1528. Its concern is the way in which these writers engage with authority―royal, political and patronal, cultural, literary, and generic ― and how those engagements shape the poetic I."
--Renaissance Society of America

"This is a careful study that attempts to set the literary construction of late medieval Scottish and English court poetry in the context of European humanism."
--Parergon - Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies
