Like many, I find the best article on "Muiopotmos," in style and matter, to
be D.C. Allen's "Muiopotmos, or The Fate of the Butterflie," reprinted
(with some changes) in his *Image and Meaning: Metaphoric Traditions in
Renaissance Poetry* (1960).
I'd be interested in book-length studies of the *Complaints* as an entity,
or articles that make multiple connections between the poems therein. As I
plunge into Hugh Maclean's terrific 'Complaints' bibliography in *Sp.
Enc.*, does anyone have recommendations as to obscure and/or worthy
criticism/dissertations on the same?
Best wishes, Thomas Herron
