Originally published in 1967, The Poetry of John Lydgate presents a
broad discussion of John Lydgate's secular poetry. It reassesses
much of the poetry through critical examination and suggests that
Lydgate was not necessarily the master that the medieval ages
proclaimed him to be, nor the plain poet that he is often seen as
in modern analysis. Instead, the book suggest that he was a
competent poetic craftsman that presents substantial literary form
in his poetry. The analysis in the book looks at Lydgate as
atypical of the Middle Ages, instead exhibiting traits currently
linked to the Renaissance. The book provides a unique perspective
on John Lydgate as a poet and will be of interest to medievalist
and literary historians alike.
