Description:
Contributors write about Lydgate from a variety of critical perspectives and emphasize the diversity of the poet’s writings beyond the city-state tragedies of Troy and Thebes. Genres discussed include beast fable, mumming, hagiography, devotional poetry, and civic pageant. The essays also reassess crucial themes in the field of Lydgate studies, including Lydgate’s unofficial laureateship, his relations to his patrons, his syntax, and his relationship to Chaucer.
