Synopsis

Inspired by the work of the hugely influential scholar James Simpson, the essays collected here deal with texts and topics from the eighth to the seventeenth centuries. Revisionist studies of two much-debated genres - allegory and romance - join forces with chapters on neglected physical features of early books, as well as studies of iconoclasm and the histories of enemy love. Works discussed include Langland's Piers Plowman, Chaucer's Physician's Tale, Troilus and Criseyde, Saint Erkenwald, The Digby Lyrics, Lydgate's Dietary, and Lodge's Robert the Devil.
