Statistical Table ; Bibliography ; IndexSiegfried Wenzel's groundbreaking study seeks to describe and analyze the linguistically mixed, or macaronic, sermons in late fourteenth-century England. Not only are these works of considerable religious interest, they provide extensive information on their literary, linguistic, and cultural milieux. Macaronic Sermons begins by offering a typology of such works: those in which English words offer glosses, or offer structural functions, or offer neither of the two but yet are syntactically integrated. This last group is then examined in detail: reasons are given for this usage and for its origins, based on the realities of fourteenth-century England. Siefriend Wenzel draws valuable conclusions about the linguistic status quo of the era, together with the extent of education, the audiences' expectations, and the ways in which the authors' minds worked. Obviously of interest to scholars and students of early English literature, Macaronic Sermons also contains much valuable information for specialists in language development or oral theory, and for those interested in multicultural societies.Recentiores.Christian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)EnglandHistory and criticismLatin prose literature, Medieval and modernEnglandHistory and criticismEnglish prose literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismChristian literature, English (Middle)History and criticismPreachingEnglandHistoryMiddle Ages, 600-1500Sermons, MedievalEnglandHistory and criticismSermons, English (Middle)History and criticismMacaronic literatureHistory and criticismBilingualismEnglandHistoryTo 1500Sermons, LatinHistory and criticismEnglandIntellectual life1066-1485Christian literature, Latin (Medieval and modern)History and criticism.Latin prose literature, Medieval and modernHistory and criticism.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.Christian literature, English (Middle)History and criticism.PreachingHistorySermons, MedievalHistory and criticism.Sermons, English (Middle)History and criticism.Macaronic literatureHistory and criticism.BilingualismHistorySermons, LatinHistory and criticism.878/.040809382Wenzel Siegfried1928-176228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780998003321Macaronic sermons2046024UNINA
