Description
Examines the influence of Lydgate in Scotland in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, commenting on the manuscript circulation of his poems. Scottish writers' stylistic indebtedness to Lydgate is complicated by the influence of Chaucer's writings on both Lydgate and the Scots poets. Lydgate's verse has only a small place in the literary culture of medieval Scotland.
