What is The complete English poems of John Skelton about?

John Scattergood's John Skelton: The Complete English Poems, originally published in 1983, established itself as the leading academic edition with comprehensive notes. But it has long been out of print. In this revised edition the text is little altered, but the Introduction has been extensively updated to take account of recent Skelton scholarship and the section on Further Reading has been expanded to include the more important recent essays and books on the poet. The Notes have been thoroughly revised to bring them up to date and the Glossary has been expanded somewhat. A feature of this revised edition is that a more comprehensive account has been given of the Latin paratexts to some of the poems, which have assumed an increased importance in some recent Skelton scholarship. John Burrow, reviewing the original edition, wrote that it 'deserves to be accepted as the standard late-twentieth-century Skelton' (Times Literary Supplement, 1983). This revised and updated edition intends to make the book useful and authoritative for twenty-first-century readers also. -- from back cover
