There is currently much interest in the "mouvance" of a medieval
text - the way in which different manuscripts reflect its evolution
to meet changing readers' needs. "Ancrene Riwle" (Ancrene Wisse) is
ideally suited to such study. Although it began as a guide for
anchoresses, composed in the 13th century, it addressed a wider
audience, and served as a popular guide to spirituality down to the
Reformation. The Vernon version, copied in the second half of the
14th century, is the last in the series of editions of individual
manuscript versions to be published by EETS. The series began with
the publication of the Latin text, edited by C. D'Evelyn (OS 216)
in 1944, and the French text, edited by J. A. Herbert (OS 219). The
first of the English texts to appear was the Nero MS, edited by M.
Day (OS 225, 1952).
