The focus of this study is court literature in early
sixteenth-century England and Scotland. The author examines courtly
poetry and drama in the context of a complex system of
entertainment, education, self-fashioning, dissimulation,
propaganda and patronage. He places selected works under close
critical scrutiny to explore the symbiotic relationship that
existed between court literature and important socio-political,
economic and national contexts of the period 1500 to 1540. The
first two chapters discuss the pervasive influence of patronage
upon court literature through an analysis of the panegyric verse
that surrounded the coronation of Henry VIII. The rhetorical
strategies adopted by courtiers within their literary works,
however, differed, depending on whether the writer was, at the time
of writing the verse or drama, excluded or included from the
environs of the court. The different, often elaborate rhetorical
strategies are, through close readings of selected verse,
delineated and discussed in chapter three on David Lyndsay and
chapter four on Thomas Wyatt and Thomas Elyot.
