William Dunbar


Book Description

William Dunbar is widely recognised as a major medieval poet, probably the most brilliant between Chaucer and Spenser. This new addition to the Longman Annotated Texts series provides valuable coverage of seventy of Dunbar's finest poems. Each is complete with useful headnotes which discuss theme, genre, metrical form, text and evidence to date the poem where this is available. All poems have been provided with annotation and glosses to aid the reader's understanding, and Latin is translated into English throughout. The introduction provides a guide to the most important aspects of Dunbar and his poetry, and references to further reading. This edition of William Dunbar will be welcomed by students of Scottish and English literature, especially by those with an interest in the medieval and renaissance periods.







The Expansion and Transformations of Courtly Literature


Book Description

This collection brings together twelve selected papers given at the Second Triennial Congress of the International Courtly Literature Society. Because the courtly ethos is the central phenomenon marking medieval vernacular literature, it provides a theme that serves as an ideological guide through the later Middle Ages and on into the Renaissance and as a framework for the essays collected in this volume.
