The Renaissance epic and the oral past /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This volume explores why Renaissance epic poetry clung to fictions of song and oral performance in an age of growing literacy. 16th- and 17th-century poets, Anthony Welch argues came to view their written art as newly distinct from the oral cultures of their ancestors.
