- Description
- Argues that "late medieval poets envisioned the environment as a participant in the production of poetry," reading HF for the ways that it represents "creativity born within the whirl of the Aristotelian world of fluctuation." Also assesses Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid" "alongside" TC, disclosing "a view of poetic production characterized by human-environmental correspondences, where poets follow forms that are latent in the environment itself."
