Description

This scholarly work examines how saints and lords functioned as structural equivalents in the pre-modern world, both serving as patrons to those beneath them spiritually or socially. Chapman argues that the conflation of patron saints and patron lords remained a defining characteristic of early modern English literary imagination and proves central to major works of the period. The book traces how writers including Jonson, Shakespeare, Spenser, Drayton, Donne, and Milton employed medieval patron saints to represent and explore themes of patronage, loyalty, and spiritual authority within their compositions. By analysing this distinctive feature across Renaissance literature, the study illuminates how early modern authors leveraged the dual meaning of "patron" to create layers of meaning in their work, blending ecclesiastical and aristocratic frameworks to comment on power structures and social relationships during a transformative period in English letters.
