Notes	"First published in 1951 by Methuen & Co. Ltd." 1. The Middle English Metrical Romances 2. The Middle English Religious Lyrics 3. 'The Vision of Piers Plowman' Index Originally published in 1951 Middle English Literature applies methods of literary evaluation to certain Middle English works. Arguing that previous literary criticism has largely focused on the commentary of their historical, social, philological and religious content, the book suggests that it has led to a thinking that Middle English literature is without artistic value and therefore cannot be compared effectively with later works of the fourteenth and fifteenth century. While traditional analysis has been beneficial to scientific and historical findings, this text seeks to look deeper into the artistic merits of the works and the authors that wrote them, arguing that the authors of these Middle English texts, wrote with the same motivations and experiences of these later authors which in turn informed the artistic basis of these Middle English works. The book looks at Middle English texts through three main areas: the Metrical Romances, the Religious Lyrics and Piers Plowman Includes index OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record HTTP:URL=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429197888 Information=Taylor & Francis
