John Lydgate, The Temple of Glass
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The Temple of Glass is one of several dream visions written by the hugely prolific John Lydgate (1371–1449), a Benedictine monk of the abbey at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Although much of his life must have been spent at Bury, Lydgate studied in Oxford for some years in the early fifteenth century, and lived for part of the 1420s and 1430s at Hatfield Broadoak in Essex, where he was appointed prior.
