Robert Southwell: Snow in Arcadia: redrawing the English lyric landscape, 1586–95Manchester University Press, 2013 M07 19 - 328 páginas It has traditionally been held that Robert Southwell’s poetry offers a curious view of Elizabethan England, one that is from the restricted perspective of a priest-hole.
