The Renaissance Epic and the Oral Past - Yale Studies in English
Anthony Welch
Explores why Renaissance epic poetry clung to fictions of song and oral performance in an age of growing literacy. Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poets, the author argues, came to view their written art as newly distinct from the oral cultures of their ancestors.
