Publisher description
A wide range of poets is covered - Chaucer, Gower, Hoccleve, the Gawain
poet, Langland, and Lydgate, along with the translator of Claudian's De
Consulatu Stilichonis. The Turnament of Totenham is read in terms of theory of
the carnivalesque and popular culture, and major contributions are made to
current linguistic, editorial and codicological controversies. Going beyond the
Middle Ages, the book also considers the sixteenth-century reception of
Chaucer's Legend of Good Women and Post-Reformation reading of Lydgate. It is
essential reading for anyone interested in the production and transmission of
medieval literature, and in the early formation of the canon of English
poetry. Contributors: JULIA BOFFEY, J.A. BURROW, CHRISTOPHER CANNON, MARTHA DRIVER,
SIAN ECHARD, A.S.G. EDWARDS, KATE D. HARRIS, S.S. HUSSEY, KATHRYN KERBY-FULTON,
CAROL M. MEALE, LINNE R. MOONEY, CHARLOTTE C. MORSE, V.I.J. SCATTERGOOD,
ELIZABETH SOLOPOVA, ESTELLE STUBBS, JOHN THOMPSON. This title provides material on the production and transmission of medieval
literature and the early formation of the canon of English poetry.
