- Description
- An introduction by the editors and eleven essays by various authors seek to vitalize Lydgate studies, exploring the status of poet laureate, Lydgate's poetic style, his political poetry, and a number of literary poems and forms (e.g., mumming, translation) that have been considered marginal. Chaucer's influence is a recurrent topic, with particular attention to ClT, HF, and PF.
