Henryson and the Medieval Arts of Rhetoric (Studies in Medieval Literature)

First published in 1993. Volume 8 in the 9-volume set of Studies in Medieval Literature, a series of interpretative and analytic studies of the Western European literatures of the Middle Ages. This volume extends the canon of works to be read and studied by providing a new framework for understanding that will inspire students and scholars to look anew at Robert Henryson's poetry. The reader will find it rewarding to read the mainline exposition but will also find a second reward in the knowledge accumulated to support that exposition.
