Who is the Pearl-poet? How do ideas about his life and
interpretations of his poems shape our understanding of his work in
late-medieval England-and beyond? In Becoming the Pearl-Poet:
Perceptions, Connections, Receptions, readers can explore the world
of this extraordinary, fourteenth-century writer. In Part I,
"Perceptions," five scholars give insightful literary analyses of
the narrative poems attributed to the poet: Pearl, Cleanness,
Patience, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and St. Erkenwald. In
Part II, "Connections," six scholars examine connections between
these diverse poems, focusing on authorship, ecology, material
culture, sartorial adornment, shields, and the poet's pastoral
theology. In Part III, "Receptions," scholars consider the
illustrations of the Pearl Manuscript (British Library MS Cotton
Nero A.x), the poet's cultural situatedness in the Northwest
Midlands and Ricardian court, his religious contexts, later
translations and paraphrases of his work, and his medieval and
modern audiences. Intended for students and scholars alike, this
book encourages readers to gain a deeper understanding of the
Pearl-poet and his world, learning many new things and enjoying old
things in a new way.
