In the early fifteenth century, English poets responded to a
changed climate of patronage, instituted by Henry IV and successor
monarchs, by inventing a new tradition of public and elite poetry.
Following Chaucer and others, Hoccleve and Lydgate brought to
English verse a new style and subject matter to write about their
King, nation, and themselves, and their innovations influenced a
continuous line of poets running through and beyond Wyatt. A
crucial aspect of this new tradition is its development of ideas
and practices associated with the role of poet laureate. Robert J.
Meyer-Lee examines the nature and significance of this tradition as
it develops from the fourteenth century to Tudor times, tracing its
evolution from one author to the next. This study illuminates the
relationships between poets and political power and makes plain the
tremendous impact this verse has had on the shape of English
literary culture.
