- Description
- Surveys the "brilliantly imaginative, formally experimental, and socially self-aware" poetry of early sixteenth-century English, with emphasis on its transitions from Chaucerian tradition and to Shakespearean tradition, the importance of Ovidian material, and the pedagogical value of electronic access to understudied literature. Includes comments on relations between Chaucer's works and such works as "La conusaunce d'amours" (1528) and "The Fantasy of the Passion of the Fox" (1530).
