Thomas Hoccleve's Collected Shorter Poems

A Critical Edition of the Huntington Holographs

Beschreibung

Thomas Hoccleve, one of the most well-known figures in 15th-century middle English literature, produced the first set of 'collected poems' in the English language. This is the first full modern edition of those poems. The collection showcases Hoccleve's role as a virtuosic religious writer, his early experiments in autobiography, and his role as a deft translator of Latin and French texts.
