More about the book
The essays in this collection focus on the need to reassess John Lydgate's significant yet overlooked contributions to poetry during a turbulent historical period. Lydgate, a prominent poet of the 15th century, addressed themes of war, civil unrest, and evolving theology, while writing for various institutions. Unlike a mere celebrant of power, his work reflects a critical perspective on authority and its consequences. Through these essays, the volume aims to highlight Lydgate's cultural importance and encourage further exploration of his extensive oeuvre.
