Introduces Skelton and his work to readers unfamiliar with the
poet, gathers together the vibrant strands of existing research,
and opens up new avenues for future studies. John Skelton is a
central literary figure and the leading poet during the first
thirty years of Tudor rule. Nevertheless, he remains challenging
and even contradictory for modern audiences. This book aims to
provide an authoritative guide to this complex poet and his works,
setting him in his historical, religious, and social contexts.
Beginning with an exploration of his life and career, it goes on to
cover all the major aspects of his poetry, from the literary
traditions in which he wrote and the form of his compositions to
the manuscript contexts and later reception. SEBASTIAN SOBECKI is
Professor of Medieval English Literature and Culture at the
University of Groningen; JOHN SCATTERGOOD is Professor (Emeritus)
of Medieval and Renaissance English at Trinity College, Dublin.
Contributors: Tom Betteridge, Julia Boffey, John Burrow, David
