The English Lyric from Wyatt to Donne: a History of the Plain and Eloquent Styles
Douglas L. Peterson
Peterson challenges C. S. Lewis's definition of "drab" and "golden" strains of poetry in 16th-century English. Instead he dubs the different types "eloquent" and "plain", and argues that the strength of the latter tradition rivals the finest flowers of the courtly lyric.
