Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To introduce John Lydgate's landmark poem the Troy Book to students and non-specialist readers, the editor has selected the essential passages from the poem and bridges any gaps with textual summaries. Also included are an introduction, gloss, notes, and a glossary. John Lydgate, a monk of the great Benedictine abbey of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, began composing the poem, an ambitious attempt at recounting the Trojan War in Middle English, in October 1412 on commission from Henry, Prince of Wales (later King Henry V), and completed it in 1420. The poem is an interesting study for those interested in medieval approaches to classical sources, as well as for its often contradictory and complicated take on contemporary chivalry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medieval Britain, the works of Homer were practically unknown. In his absence, the half-remembered story of the Trojan War took on a distinctly Arthurian flavour, with the heroes Achilles and Hector reimagined as armoured knights on horseback, duelling with broadsword and lance. In 1412 the Prince of Wales commissioned John Lydgate, monk of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey and literary heir of Chaucer, to write him an English epic to rival those in the French and Latin. The result was Troy Book: 30,000 lines of decasyllabic rhyming couplets, completed in 1420 and dedicated to its patron--now King Henry V. Lydgate's primary source was the Latin prose Historia Destructionis Troiae of Guido delle Colonne, with supplementary material provided by Ovid, Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, as well as a variety of obscure Late Latin texts, such as Isidore of Seville's Etymologiae, and the Mythologiae of Fulgentius. With this edition Troy Book receives its first translation into Modern English, allowing a new generation of readers to view the Trojan War through the eyes of a fifteenth-century Briton. D. M. Smith includes a detailed introduction tracing the development of the Troy myth from the Cyclic Poets to Lydgate and beyond, along with extensive notes on Lydgate's sources, and the narrative's relationship with the established Graeco-Roman mythology. Long dismissed as a medieval curiosity, Troy Book is at last restored to its proper context in the literary evolution of the Ancient Greek Epic Cycle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Lydgate's The Siege of Thebes, written c. 1421-22, is the only Middle English poetic text that recounts the fratricidal struggle between Oedipus's sons Eteocles and Polynices as they contend for the lordship of Thebes. The text reflects the problem of poetic authority and the political and ethical themes of Lydgate's poetic career in the 1420s, when he was writing as a Lancastrian propagandist and as unofficial royal poet.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1970, John Lydgate sets out to restore a sense of perspective to the work of Lydgate, not by attributing a spurious modernity as a precursor of the Renaissance, but by accepting the fact that he is fundamentally medieval. The book analyses Lydgate’s background in literary tradition and compares this with Chaucer’s work. The book looks at Lydgate as a professional craftsman and examines how his work adapted to the demands and occasions of his age. Without over-valuing the poetry, this approach makes it possible to discriminate with increased objectivity between the more and less worthwhile and to distinguish the unexpectedly large number of poems in which craftsman-like competence rises to rhetorical artistry of a high order. In accepting Lydgate as the epitome of his age, the book also provides a diagram of the medieval poetic mind in its basic form and suggests the usefulness of Lydgate as a source book for the understanding of medieval literature.
