Preview Lydgate Matters: Poetry and Material Culture in the Fifteenth Century (The New Middle Ages)

Description:
This collection re-evaluates the work of fifteenth-century poet John Lydgate in light of medieval material culture.  Top scholars in the field unite here with critical newcomers to offer fresh perspectives on the function of poetry on the cusp of the modern age, and in particular on the way that poetry speaks to the heightened relevance of material goods and possessions to the formation of late medieval identity and literary taste.  Advancing in provocative ways the emerging fields of fifteenth-century literary and cultural study, the volume as a whole explores the role of the aesthetic not only in late medieval society but also in our own.
