About this title

Synopsis

This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.

Review

"In her fluency in the language of feminism, psychoanalysis, and deconstruction, Gayle Margherita is one of the most articulate and persuasive readers of Middle English poetry I have encountered in a good while; in its demonstration of the value and validity of these languages in analyzing and understanding Middle English poetry, The Romance of Origins is one of the most exciting and important books to appear in our field in years."--R.A. Shoaf
