Synopsis :

John Lydgate is known as the most distinguished poet of fifteenth-century England. This volume presents his brilliant and underappreciated dramatic texts written for both private and public entertainment, encompassing both religious and secular topics. This is the first time since 1934 that many of these poems have been reprinted or reedited. They are published here with an extensive gloss and notes, as well as a glossary and an introduction, making them accessible to a new generation of students of the Middle Ages. These works are indispensible to any study of medieval English drama.

À propos de l?auteur: Claire Sponsler was Professor of English at the University of Iowa. She specialized in medieval literature, with a special interest in the overlapping areas of book history, performance, and cultural studies.
