Some concepts deriving from ancient and medieval writings on music (considered in its philosophial, theoretical and practical aspects) as well as descriptions of contemporary musical practice, began to find a place in English literature in didactic and allegorical poems of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. This book is based on research into English and continental emblem books and poems, and is thematically arranged. The first section considers the important theme of the 'effects of music', particularly within political and civic contexts. The second section is about the union of music and love, an ancient theme alternately imbued with positive or negative connotations. The final section explores the relationship between music and emblem books and how the same ideas were elaborated in some literary and visual works of the time.
