- catalog abstract ""The Long Fifteenth Century is a companion volume to Douglas Gray's ground-breaking Oxford Book of Late Medieval Verse and Prose." "The fifteen essays portray the fifteenth century as a major period of literature in its own right. The contributors to this volume - many of them leading scholars in the field - offer important rereadings of both familiar and under-studied works and genres, and demonstrate how closely the literature of the period is bound up with political and social conditions. The generic variety of the century's writings is addressed in essays ranging from the prose romance to the ballad, visions of purgatory to morality plays; and there are specific studies of writers from Hoccleve and Lydgate to Skelton, along with essays on the Chaucerian tradition and Scottish writings of the period." "Written in honour of Douglas Gray, to mark his long and distinguished tenure of the J. R. R. Tolkien Professorship of English Literature and Language at the University of Oxford, this volume also incorporates a bibliography of his published writings."--BOOK JACKET.".
