This is the first edition of Skelton's elaborate dream-allegory to be based on a thorough examination of extant texts. It represents a major revision of our knowledge of Skelton's career and of the form and meaning of the poem. Extensive introduction, notes, and glossary.
This book presents a collection of works of John Skelton, the first great modern English poet, who wrote in a vigorous vernacular, taking literary English out of the medieval world and enriching it with new forms and tones. It provides notes and glossary illuminating Skelton's works for the reader.
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.
