"Thirty-three poems have been chosen to illustrate the range of genres which exists and they have been grouped, where appropriate, according to the status of the patron. Included are poems to princes (praise, elegy, thanks, threat, reconciliation, restoration to health, welcome, a plea for freedom), poems to men of the nobility (including a poet's brothers and princely foster-brother, a court official, a fellow-poet, and a poet's son), poems to women (praise, elegy, and love), miscellaneous poems (a royal court, trial by ordeal and a meditation) and religious poems (a deathbed poem, poems on heaven and the Last Judgement, and a re-telling of the Nativity)."--Jacket.
