Summary:

"This revisionist literary history of late-medieval and Renaissance poetry offers in-depth analyses of six major poets - Chaucer, Gower, Hoccleve, Lydgate, Skelton, and Wyatt - and reconstructs their ideas about the proper way to write. It sheds new light on the question of what these poets thought literature itself was made from"-- Provided by publisher.
