"This book comprises essays both theoretical and applied, with a focus on English medieval and Renaissance texts. While the term aesthetics may imply simply sensory perception this volume considers what makes literary texts beautiful. It suggests we tend to neglect what often draws us to read in the first place: verbal or imaginative beauty" --
