The poetry we call “alliterative” is recorded in English
from the seventh century until the sixteenth, and
includes Caedmon’s Hymn, Beowulf, SirGawain and
the Green Knight, and Piers Plowman. These are
some of the most admired works of medieval English
literature, and also among the most enigmatic.
The formal practice of alliterative poets exceeded
the conceptual grasp of medieval literary theory;
theorists are still playing catch-up today. This
book explains the distinctive nature of alliterative
meter, explores its differences from subsequent
accentual-syllabic forms, and advances a reformed
v
understand ing of medieval English literary history.
The startling formal variety of Piers Plowman and
other Middle English alliterative poems comes into
sharper focus when viewed in diachronic perspective:
the meter was in transition; to understand it, we need
to know where it came from and where it was headed
at the moment it died out.
