John Lydgate And The Poetics Of Fame,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An examination of the subject of 'fame' in Lydgate, showing it as central to his work.John Lydgate is arguably the most significant poet of fifteenthcentury England, yet his position as Chaucer's literary successor and his role as a Lancastrian poet have come to overshadow his contributions to English literature.Here, 'fame' is identified as the key to Lydgate's authorial selffashioning in Chaucer's wake. The author begins by situating Lydgatean fame within the literary, cultural and political landscape of latemedieval England, indicating how Lydgate diverges from Chaucer's treatment of the subject by constructing a more confident model of authorship, according to which poets are the natural makers and recipients of fame. She then discusses the ways in which Lydgate draws on fourteenthcentury poetry, the advisory tradition, and the laureate ideology borne out of trecento Italy; she shows that he deploys them to play upon reader anxieties in his short poems on dangerous speech, while depicting poets as the ultimate arbiters of fame in his longer poems and dramatic works.Throughout, the book challenges standard critical positions on questions relating to how poets fit into latemedieval society, how they canbe powerful enough to admonish princes, and how English letters fare next to the literature of the continent and of antiquity.Mary C. Flannery is Lecturer in English at the University of Lausanne.
