- Description
- Surveys the relationship between song and poetry in English tradition, identifying the tenacity of the association until the end of the nineteenth century as evident in poetry and in the statuary of London's Albert Memorial. Cites evidence from TC and Chaucer's lyric poems to argue that in the 1300s and 1400s verse was "still steeped in music, but no longer dissolved in it."
