- Summary
- "This extensive new edition of original texts covers the Old and Middle English periods from the eighth to the mid-fourteenth centuries." "Each text is accompanied by a brief introduction and footnotes. Earlier materials are made fully accessible by accompanying translations, and the later by marginal glosses. The literary, historical, cultural and intellectual background to the period is discussed in a comprehensive introduction to the volume." "This volume will prove indispensable to all university courses in Medieval Studies at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and make an important contribution to the debates on periodicity and canonicity in university curricula."--Jacket.
