Medieval Poetry, 1400–1500, Volume 3, Boffey J., 2023.

   The Oxford History of Poetry in English (OHOPE) aims to offer a fresh, multi-voiced, and comprehensive survey of its vast and complicated topic: from Anglo-Saxon poetry through contemporary British, Irish, American, and Global poetry, including English, Scottish, and Welsh poetry, Anglo-American colonial and post-colonial poetry, and poetry in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, India, Africa, Asia, and other locales.




The Chaucer Tradition.
The range of Chaucers poetic oeuvre is astonishing. It embraces elegy (both lyrics and longer narratives with inset lyrics), romance, tragedy, hagiography, petitionary poetry (both secular and religious), fabliau, satire, exemplary moral narrative, and animal fable. Plenty of individual works by fifteenth-century poets exploit Chaucerian possibilities, but only one, very large fifteenth-century poetic corpus, that of Lydgate, takes shape fundamentally within the range of possibilities opened by Chaucer.

Chaucer was acclaimed before he died. Precisely given that incipient fame, it was essential for early fifteenth-century poets to enlist Chaucer's reputation by way of promoting their own work. Throughout his career, the Benedictine monk John Lydgate (cl 370-1449/50) evokes Chaucers name, and defines especially his rhetorical achievement. Rhetorically brilliant, exceptionally wide in his range, generous and generative, and, Should we, however, take Lydgate at his word? Might we rather be able to redescribe this posture of stumbling ineptitude as a modesty topos produced by a much closer relation to centres of political power?
