This edition of John Lydgate's Dance of Death offers a detailed
comparison of the different text versions, a new scholarly edition
and translation of Guy Marchant's 1485 French Danse Macabre text,
and an art-historical analysis of its woodcut illustrations. It
addresses the cultural context and historical circumstances of
Lydgate's poem and its model, the mural of 1424-25 with
accompanying French poem in Paris, as well as their precursors,
notably the Vado mori poems and the Legend of the Three Living and
the Three Dead. It discusses authorship, the personification and
vizualisation of Death, and the wider dissemination of the Dance.
The edited texts include commentaries, notes, and a glossary.
