- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph was written and researched over seven years. It refers to archival sources consulted in eighteen libraries, and uses many other primary sources in English, French and Latin. It offers not just the most comprehensive survey of literary responses to Du Bartas but also a revisionist reading of narrative poetry from 1580-1700, including numerous canonical authors with their own secondary literatures (e.g. Spenser, Milton). It approaches these poets from the perspectives of two other subfields, early modern Scottish literature and women’s writing, in which I gained competence after wide background reading and speaking with specialists in these areas.
