The Shapes Of Early English Poetry: Style, Form, History, Eric Weiskott, Irina Dumitrescu
Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Culture
This volume contributes to the study of early English poetics. In these essays, several related approaches and fields of study radiate outward from poetics, including stylistics, literary history, word studies, gender studies, metrics, and textual criticism.
