Court Poetry in Late Medieval England and Scotland: Allegories of Authority
The tentative and shaky relationship between court poetry and various political and cultural authorities in England and Scotland at the start of the sixteenth century is examined in this book. It investigates the means through which court poetry and its narrators seek numerous forms of legitimacy, including from royal and institutional sources as well as in the media of script and print, through poems by Skelton, Dunbar, Douglas, Hawes, Lyndsay, and Barclay.
