Literary studies: poetry & poets

Hardcover. Perhaps no other work of secular poetry was as widely read as the historical verse tragedy collection "A Mirror for Magistrates". This work shows that modern critics have misconstrued the purpose of the tragic verse narratives of the Mirror, approaching them as uncontroversial meditations on abstract political and philosophical doctrines. Series: Massachusetts Studies in Early Modern Culture. Num Pages: 288 pages, 6 illustrations. BIC Classification: 3JB; DSBD; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 231 x 155 x 28. Weight in Grams: 590.
