Produktbeschreibung

Robert Southwell's poetic view of Spenser's, Signey's and Shakespeare's England is a cold one. This book close reads and contextualises his lighter lyric poetry and its connections to English recusant culture from the music of Willian Bryd to the coded embroideries of Mary Queen of Scots.
