John Skelton and Poetic Authority is the first book-length study of
Skelton for almost twenty years, and the first to trace the roots
of his poetic theory to his practice as a writer and translator. It
demonstrates that much of what has been found challenging in his
work may be attributed to his attempt to reconcile existing views
of the poet's role in society with discoveries about the writing
process itself. The result is a highly idiosyncratic poetics that
locates the poet's authority decisively within his own person, yet
at the same time predicates his 'liberty to speak' upon the
existence of an engaged, imaginative audience. Skelton is
frequently treated as a maverick, but this book places his theory
and practice firmly in the context of later sixteenth as well as
fifteenth-century traditions. Focussing on his relations with both
past and present readers, it reassess his place in the English
literary canon.
