Uniquely, the book is divided by genre, allowing readers to make connections between texts usually presented individually. This anthology offers a fruitful exploration of the boundary between literary and popular culture, and showcases an impressive breadth of literature, including songs, drama, and ballads. Familiar texts such as the visions of Margery Kempe and the Paston family letters are featured alongside lesser-known works, often oral. This striking diversity extends to the language: the anthology includes Scottish literature and original translations of Latin and French texts. The illuminating introduction offers essential information that will enhance the reader?s enjoyment of the chosen texts. Each of the chapters is accompanied by a clear summary explaining the particular delights of the literature selected and the rationale behind the choices made. An invaluable resource to gain an in-depth understanding of the culture of the period, this is essential reading for any student or scholar of medieval English literature, and for anyone interested in folklore or popular material of the time. 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPopular literature$zEngland$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and folklore$zGreat Britain 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 606 $aFolk literature, English$xHistory and criticism 610 $aEssays on Medieval English Popular Literature 610 $aanthology 610 $apopular medieval literature 610 $atwelfth century 610 $aliterary and popular culture 610 $asongs 610 $adrama 610 $aballads 610 $aDouglas Gray 610 $aJane Bliss 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPopular literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and folklore 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aFolk literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9001 700 $aGray$b Douglas$f1930-$0165063 702 $aBliss$b Jane 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910332652303321 996 $aMake we merry more and less$92216235 997 $aUNINA
