Finally, the study includes a ‘Select Catalogue of Answer-Poetry in Print and Manuscript, 1485-1625’ (Appendix A). Although this resource is not exhaustive, the poems referenced supply the want of any comparable reference guide available from which to formulate a critical and theoretical approach to the genre. The format of the catalogue allows for the presentation of primary material in a more logical format than could be achieved in a conventional bibliography and facilitates the signposting of the literary, bibliographical and authorial relationships between answering verses and the verses answered. The resource is also intended to provide insight into the research underlying this doctoral dissertation. It offers a graphic illustration of the need for the scope of this study and for the reasoning behind the limitations imposed upon it. It is further intended to assist readers in evaluating my synthesis of available primary material.
