Originally published in 1989, Alliterative Poetry of the Later
Middle Ages is an anthology of texts looking at the tradition of
alliterative poetry in medieval English literature. The book
presents lesser known alliterative Middle English poems, which are
unmodernised and include explanatory footnotes designed to give
clarity to the text and enable critical response to the texts. The
book illustrates the great range and variety of alliterative verse,
both rhymed and unrhymed. The poems range from descriptions of
armies, bloody battles, dramatic storms and dreams of goddesses.
Whatever the subject, social and political satire, theological
controversy and moral admonition is always given a lively and
interesting setting. The book contains a succinct and incisive
introductory material and a carefully selected bibliography which
will encourage further reading.
