Matter and Making in Early English Poetry : Literary Production from Chaucer to Sidney

Omtale

This revisionist literary history of late-medieval and Renaissance poetry offers in-depth analyses of six major poets – Chaucer, Gower, Hoccleve, Lydgate, Skelton, and Wyatt – and reconstructs their ideas about the proper way to write. It sheds new light on the question of what these poets thought literature itself was made from.
