Zusammenfassung: | "How to Read Middle English Poetry guides readers through poetry between 1150 and 1500, for study and pleasure. Chapters give down-to-earth advice on enjoying and analyzing each aspect of verse, from the choice of single words, through syntax, metre, rhyme, and stanza-design, up to the play of larger forms across whole poems. How to Read Middle English Poetry covers major figures—such as Chaucer, Langland, the Pearl Poet, and Robert Henryson—but also delves into exciting anonymous lyrics, romances, and drama. It shows, too, how some modern poets have drawn on earlier poems, and how Middle English and early Scots provide crucial standpoints from which to think through present-day writing. Contextual sections discuss how poetry was heard aloud, introduce manuscripts and editing, and lay out Middle English poetry's ties to other tongues, including French, Welsh, and Latin. Critical terms are highlighted and explained both in the main text and in a full indexed glossary, while the uses of key tools such as the Middle English Dictionary are described and modeled. References to accessible editions and electronic resources mean that the book needs no accompanying anthology. At once thorough, wide-ranging, and practical, How to Read Middle English Poetry is indispensable for students exploring Middle English or early Scots, and for anyone curious about the heart of poetry's history." "How to Read Middle English Poetry offers practical advice on tackling English poetry from around 1150 to 1500, for study or pleasure. The book guides readers through the period's key forms, equipping them to enjoy and if necessary close-read Middle English and early Scots verse-craft. It also shows the vitality, variety, and lasting value of poetry from this time. Poets discussed include Chaucer, Langland, the Pearl Poet, Layamon, Hoccleve, Lydgate, Dunbar, Douglas, Henryson, and the prolific, sometimes-female Anonymous. The introduction maps out the book's contents, outlines what Middle English poetry is, and describes some key tools and resources for this area of study. The first chapter explains why we should care about Middle English poetry today. The following chapters deal with word-choice, word order, alternating metres, alliterative metres, rhyme, stanza design, and larger-scale formal models such as carols and ballades. Three contextual chapters discuss medieval manuscripts and modern editions, multilingualism, and the reading of poetry aloud in the period. An epilogue sums up the book's findings and sketches a chronological history of Middle English poetry, showing the period's interests and joys. The appendix provides basic notes on Middle English sounds and grammar. An indexed glossary defines all the technical terms used in the book"-- |
