The The Digby Poems by Helen Barr
In Helen Barrs new edition, the 24 short lyrics of Oxford Bodleian MS Digby 102 are freshly transcribed and edited. New evidence shows that this sequence of poems was written in the early years of Henry Vs reign (c.141314), and most probably by a Benedictine monk eager to add his support for the Henrician new dawn.
Helen Barr demonstrates that the Digby poems are worthy of serious study and offers a model of how to read unhistorical writing historically* Journal of English and Germanic Philology, Vol. 110, No. 1 *
... this is very much an edition to be welcomed. * Journal of English and Germanic Philology, Vol. 110, No. 1 *
Barr is to be commended for her production of a fine edition of fascinating, layered, and subtle verse collection, and this new volume will greatly aid teaching and encourage new research. * Years Work in English *
