• Resumen

  • This essay aims to determine the validity of the genre in Reson and Sensuallyte as a manifestation of a principle which governs the poem, and as an act of the interpretation. In this article we discuss briefly Lydgate’s Reson and Sensuallyte as a consolatio of the fifteenth century.

    The poem represents, in fact, the decay of this genre, but in a sense we recognize the structure of the Consolatio Philosophiae, and the “consolatio” elements as the central action of the poem.
