- Description
- Glancy surveys twenty-nine themes (some with sub-themes) in British poetry, describing their occurrence from the late Middle Ages to the present. Topics include beauty, death, love, old age, sleep, and war. Glancy summarizes Chaucer's Marriage Group (WBPT, ClT, MerT, and FranT) and mentions the Prioress and the Wife of Bath in a section on pride and vanity, respectively.
