Anthony Welch is assistant professor of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
"Welch's multipronged argument repays careful rereading, and his
lyrical prose commands grateful admiration....This consistently
learned and imaginative book will be of significant interest not
only to scholars of Renaissance literature and music but also to
classists...."—Leah Whittington, Modern Philology
*Modern Philology*
"Anthony Welch presents for the reader a panorama of epic and
narrative poets in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who
fought a losing battle but in the process made a fascinating series
of experiments before prose writers took narrative away from them.
Anyone who studies Renaissance epic needs to read this
book."—Michael Murrin, Clio
*Clio: A Journal of Literature, History, and the Philosophy of
History*
“Welch’s . . . accomplished study considers early modern crossovers
between epic and oral song as modeled in an ancient oral culture
that Renaissance humanists both idealized and mocked.”—Leah S.
