In an updated edition of his hugely successful student introduction
to English literature from 1100 to 1500, J.A. Burrow takes account
of scholarly developments in the the field, most notably devoting a
final chapter to the impact of historicism on medieval studies.
Full of information and stimulating ideas, and a pleasure to read,
Burrow's book deals with circumstances of composition and
reception, the main genres, "modes of meaning" (allegory etc.), and
medieval literature's afterlife in modern times. It shows that the
literature of authors such as Chaucer, Gower, and Langland is more
readily accessible than usually imagined, and well worth reading
too. By placing medieval writers in their historical context - the
four centuries between the Norman Conquest and the Renaissance -
Professor Burrow explains not only how they wrote, but why.
