Gewebe ; cloth. Condition: Gut. Second Printing. 336 S. A good copy. --- Although the literature of the Middle English Period is rich and varied, sometimes overshadowed by the genius of Chaucer, an anthology of the scholarly criticism of this literature has long been needed. -- Dr. Vasta, a member of the Department of English at Notre Dame, has selected and edited fifteen of the most valuable and representative of the essays dealing with the important works and genre which reflect the theological, moral, and social facets of this versatile era, the last when the western world had something of a unity within the framework of the Christian ethic. -- Included are classic criticisms by Stephen Manning, Douglas Peterson, Wendell Stacy Johnson, Henry Wells, Elizabeth Zeeman, Homer Watt, and Arthur Moore, on the The Owl and the Nightingale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Pearl, Piers Plowman, Morte d'Arthur, Second Shepherd's Play, and Everyman. This convenient collection, with its supplementary bibliographies, will lead the undergraduate into the literary aspects of the works and inspire the graduate scholar to further inquiry. -- Drawings by Rainey Bennett --- CONTENTS: 1.
