How did Latin erotic elegy influence and shape sixteenth-century
English love poetry? Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book
offers detailed readings of poetry with close attention to the
erotic, sometimes problematically 'pornographic', 'wanton' and
'lascivious' verse that exists in both periods. Moving beyond
arguments that relate Renaissance eroticism more or less solely
back to Ovid and Petrarch, Linda Grant breaks new ground by
demonstrating the extent to which a broader sense of classical,
specifically Latin, erotics underpins conceptions of sexual love,
gender and desire in Renaissance literature. Methodologically
sophisticated and moving away from static source study to the
dynamism of intertextuality and reception, Grant shows the value of
dialogic readings, exploring how elegy speaks to Renaissance poetry
and how reading poems from both periods together illuminates both
sets of verse.
