	John Lydgate - LoveToKnow 1911
		Lydgate had a consuming passion for literature, and it was probably that he might indulge this taste more fully that in 1 434 he retired from the priorate of Hatfield Broadoak (or Hatfield Regis), to which he had been appointed in June 1423.
		Cursed with such immoderate fluency Lydgate could not sustain himself at the highest level of artistic excellence; and, though imbued with a sense of the essentials of poetry, and eager to prove himself in its various manifestations, he stinted himself of the self-discipline necessary to perfection of form.
		Lydgate is not quite so great a sinner in this respect as are some of his successors, but his tendency cannot be mistaken, and John Metham is amply justified in his censure Eke John Lydgate, sometime monk of Bury, His books indited with terms of rhetoric And half-changed Latin, with conceits of poetry.

		Lydgate's massive Troy Book, commissioned by Henry V when still Prince of Wales, became the standard history of the Trojan War in English (as its patron hoped it would) and is one of the sources for Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida.
		Lydgate approached Chaucer's story of Troilus and Criseyde as a scholarly commentator ready to annotate, reinforce, and provide his readers with the historical context to Chaucer's work; Henryson's response is to exploit in his own original way Chaucer's innovative literary devices, including the characterization of Criseyde.
		Lydgate clearly accepted the authority of the Historia, regarding it, as Walter Schirmer has noted, as a "historical work containing all the moral and political lessons which history was expected to teach."(5) Lydgate changes nothing essential in Guido's factual matter, though everything is developed at greater length.

		If it be true, as Bishop Alcock of Ely affirms, that Lydgate wrote a poem on the loss of France and Gascony, it seems necessary to suppose that he lived two years longer, and thus indications point to the year I 451, or thereabouts, as the date of his death.
		Lydgate is not quite so great a sinner in this I respect as are some of his successors, but his tendency cannot,be mistaken, and John Metham is amply justified in his censure— Eke John Lydgate, sometime monk of Bury, His books indited with terms of rhetoric and half-changed Latin, with conceits of poetry.
		In spite of that, Lydgate is characteristically medieval—medieval in his prolixity, his platitude, his want of judgment and his want of taste; medieval also in his pessimism, his Mariolatry and his horror of death.

		Nevertheless, Lydgate continues to be either sidestepped or lambasted in histories of English literature, for he is seen as monstrous: he is deviant, he is Other, he is the Anti-Chaucer.
		One particular aspect of recent Lydgate manuscript studies is worthy of specific mention: various writers, like A. Doyle, Kathleen Scott, and Nicholas Rogers, have been exploring some of the characteristics of a significant group of manuscripts produced for, perhaps produced by, the abbey of Bury St. Edmunds in the mid-fifteenth century.
		Lydgate's historical importance as a court poet, as a pre-laureate laureate, is receiving some important attention: there are new studies of his royal and aristocratic patrons, his role as translator of continental literature for English patrons, and his role as writer of poems and mummings and pageants for royal occasions.

		He is said to have written one piece of prose — an account of Caesar's wars and death.
		Most modern critics agree as to the general mediocrity of his work, but Lydgate has not wanted admirers in the past such as Chatterton, who imitated him, and Gray, who was impressed by the carefulness of his phraseology and the smoothness of his verse.
		The well-known poem of "London Lackpenny", which has been for long reckoned as Lydgate's, is now almost certainly proved not to be by him.

	Medieval and Tudor - Conferences
		John Lydgate is no longer a dull poet, judging from the resurgence of critical interest in his authorial energies, political affiliations, and religiosity.
		The "Lydgate line" has long been seen as representative of some sort of aesthetic malaise: it is by definition a broken-backed, crippled creation.
		Papers that explore the aesthetic and formal pleasures and perversions of Lydgate, and which perhaps challenge received opinion on the grounds of manuscript evidence or what we know about the Lydgate's patronage arrangements and public service, are invited for this session.

		The basis of the poem is a confession of the sins of Lydgate's youth, which he offers to Christ as a last will and testament.
		There are five divisions, of which the last, here given in part, is an appeal of the crucified Jesus to sinful man. It was suggested to Lydgate, by the sight of a crucifix painted on a wall with the inscription "Vide".
