Welch's approach leads to a fresh perspective on a literary culture that stood on the brink of a new relationship with antiquity and on the history of music in the early modern era. 410 0$aYale studies in English. 606 $aEpic poetry, European$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpic literature, European$xClassical influences 606 $aEuropean poetry$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEpic poetry, European$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpic literature, European$xClassical influences. 615 0$aEuropean poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.1/32 700 $aWelch$b Anthony$f1975-$01711884 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812470503321 996 $aThe Renaissance epic and the oral past$94103531 997 $aUNINA
