In From Lawmen to Plowmen, Stephen M. Yeager offers a fresh, insightful explanation for the alliterative structure of William Langland?s Piers Plowman and the flourishing of alliterative verse satires in late medieval England by observing the similarities between these satires and the legal-homiletical literature of the Anglo-Saxon era.Unlike Old English alliterative poetry, Anglo-Saxon legal texts and documents continued to be studied long after the Norman Conquest. By comparing Anglo-Saxon charters, sermons, and law codes with Langland?s Piers Plowman and similar poems, Yeager demonstrates that this legal and homiletical literature had an influential afterlife in the fourteenth-century poetry of William Langland and his imitators. His conclusions establish a new genealogy for medieval England?s vernacular literary tradition and offer a new way of approaching one of Middle English?s literary classics. 410 0$aToronto Anglo-Saxon series ;$v17. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish language$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xVersification 606 $aLaw and literature$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aReligion and literature$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAlliteration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVersification. 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAlliteration. 676 $a821/.1093554 700 $aYeager$b Stephen M.$f1979-$0938895 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460342403321 996 $aFrom lawmen to plowmen$92116446 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04371oam 2200745I 450 001 9910957943603321 005 20190826145055.0 010 $a9789004290211 010 $a9004290214 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004290211 035 $a(CKB)3710000000393324 035 $a(EBL)2028201 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001459484 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11822128 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001459484 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11463982 035 $a(PQKB)10167399 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2028201 035 $a(OCoLC)900179629 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004290211 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000393324 100 $a20150121d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMoribund Germanic heritage languages in North America $etheoretical perspectives and empirical findings /$fEdited by B.
