Title: Catullan consciousness and the early modern lyric in England
Description: "By comparing Catullus to English lyricists of the 16th and early 17th centuries, Jacob Blevins here identifies a common function of the genre: lyric love poetry, he argues, provides the space in which speakers attempt to situate their self-identity among dominant cultural ideologies and individual desires."--Jacket.
