Opis

An account of the performance of poetry from late Antiquity to the Renaissance that explores the role and importance of poetry in western culture.

Recenzje

It is bracing to follow a prominent senior scholar in his exploration of so many centuries-millennia encountered not with any ex cathedra jadedness but with open enthusiasm that should immediately engage readers at every academic level. Stephen Hinds, University of Washington, Modern Language Quarterly
