Summary

"This anthology provides the student with new editions of five fifteenth-century English poems framed as dreams, and demonstrates the energy with which this influential medieval form was explored by post-Chaucerian writers." "Lydgate's Temple of Glass, a complex love vision, generates counsel of wide-ranging kind; The King's Quair of James I of Scotland, and Love's Renewal from the English poems of Charles of Orleans, manipulate autobiographical detail to philosophical and political ends; the anonymous Assembly of Ladies foregrounds women's voices; finally, Skelton's Bouge of Court adapts the love vision to the purposes of a satire on court life." "The poems are in lightly modernized spelling and accompanied by glosses, explanatory notes, and textual commentary. Each has its own introduction and recommendations for further reading, and a general introduction discusses the significance of the dream form, its importance for Middle English writers, and the extraordinary variety of directions in which it was developed by fifteenth-century poets."--BOOK JACKET.
