| Abstract |
For anyone wanting to appreciate the variety of Elizabethan lyrics and to trace their development, the poetic miscellanies of the sixteenth century are an unrivalled starting point. Much of the music associated with these lyrics has surfaced only in recent years, and this book provides the first comprehensive exploration of the links between the miscellanies and this music. |
