W.W.Norton&Company

A scholarly study of two major themes in English poetry -- the poet's instinctive mingling of the antique, the medieval, and the Italianate, and their steadily growing consciousness of disharmony between Christianity and pagan ideals. These arguments are developed through thoughtful analyses of the work of Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Milton and a host of minor figures.
