- Letters and Papers, Domestic and Foreign, of the Reign of Henry VIII, ed. J. S.
Brewer, 21 vols. (London, 1872 ),iv, 2083. The translation is White’s (xlii). Lyall
notes that Barclay“was probably associated with Tyndale because of their
shared dislike of Wolsey and the English government rather than because of
any agreement over religious matters”: Lyall, “Alexander Barclay and the
Edwardian Reformation,” 455. - Letters and Papers,iv, 2405 – 06.
- See White, xlvi–li, and Lyall,“Alexander Barclay,” 457.
- Bawcutt notes the poem’s“element of bravura”:Gavin Douglas, 67. For
Spearing, the poem shows the sexual disquiets of Douglas the supposedly
celibate cleric, who in the face of an angry love-goddess’s judgment pleads
benefit of clergy (Medieval to Renaissance, 239 ). Fradenburg analyzes Douglas’s
participation in the Scottish court’s culture of honor and its drive to ground
phenomenal exterior in an“inner”essence; the poem shows“the desire to
recover protection and plenitude through a redemption of violence”and the
risk of mutilation, polarities realized inThe Palice’s alternately menacing and
accommodating femalefigures (City, Marriage, Toumament, 187 ). - All references toThe Palice of Honour, except where otherwise indicated, are to
