John Lydgate articulated in his poetry, prose and translations many of the most serious political questions of his day. Lydgate wrote commissions for the court, the aristocracy, and the guilds. Maura Nolan offers a major re-interpretation of Lydgate's work and of his central role in the developing literary culture of the fifteenth century. Moreover, she provides a wholly new perspective on Lydgate's relationship to Chaucer, as he followed Chaucerian traditions while creating innovative new ways of addressing the public.
