The centuries just after the Norman Conquest are the forgotten period
of English literary history. In fact, the years
unparalleled ingenuity in the creation of written forms, for this was a time
when almost every writer was unaware of the existence of other English
writing. In a series of detailed readings of the more important early Middle
English works, Cannon shows how the many and varied texts of the period
laid the foundations for the project of English literature. This richness is for
the first time given credit in these readings by means of an innovative theory
of literary form that accepts every written shape as a unique contribution to
the history of ideas. This theory also suggests that the impoverished under¬
standing of literature we now commonly employ is a legacy of this early
period, an attribute of the single form we have learned to call 'romance'.
A number of reading methods have lately taught us to be more generous in
our understandings of what literature might be, but this book shows us that
the very variety we now strive to embrace anew actually formed the grounds
of English literature.
Christopher Cannon is a Fellow of Girton College and a University
Lecturer in the Faculty of English, Cambridge.
