Alliterative Poetry of the Later Middle Ages

An Anthology

By: Thorlac Turville-Petre

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.

Description and Narrative in Middle English Alliterative Poetry

By: Thorlac Turville-Petre

[The book offers] meticulous case studies of authorial technique with much relevant historical detail. Discussion of sound symbolism is laudably precise and informative. [...] Glossed illustrative passages are provided throughout to maintain contact with a large potential audience. [...] The overall quality of the book cannot be ignored. This is an outstanding work of literary analysis.' Geoffrey Russom, Brown University
