Originally published in 1967 The Pearl looks at the anonymous
fourteenth century poet of Pearl. The book argues that the poem
ranks in importance and interest with that of Chaucer and Langland,
but suggests that it has always proved more difficult to approach
to the modern reader. The aim of this book is to clear away some of
the difficulty through a close examination of the material the poet
had to draw on, and the poet's use of this in the organisation of
the poem. The main themes are established through detailed analysis
of the poem, which is seen as much more than either a lament for an
individual or the mere figurative presentation of an idea.
