Informative study of the 14th-century revival of alliterative
poetry which culminated in the major masterpieces of Sir Gawain and
the Green Knight, Pearl and Piers Plowman. The revival of
alliterative poetry in the fourteenth century, which culminated in
the major masterpieces of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl
and Piers Plowman, poses many problems for the historians of
literature. As a result, the poems have tended to be studied in
isolation, and their poetic context and use of an established
tradition have been largely ignored. This book assesses the
alliterative revival as a poetic movement, and restores the poems
to their literary context. In particular, it offers an evaluation
of the obscure origins of the revival, and on the type of audience
for whom the poems were intended.
