Description
Shepard reveals Tristan's amatory poetry to be mannerist and his heroic and religious poetry to be baroque. Many poems, however, contain elements of both styles. This supports Frank J. Warnke's theory that Baroque is the period style, with mannerism and baroque being two aspects of the period. Shepard also uncovers a baroque dompte style-the toned-down baroque that Helmut Hatzfeld and others argue characterized French classicism-in some of Tristan's heroic and religious poetry.
