This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Bible upon which it is based, the metrical paraphrase is unlikely to be a text read cover-to-cover by the faint-hearted. The Paraphrase is, in several ways, a remarkable artifact of the Chaucerian period, one that can reveal a great deal about vernacular biblical literature in Middle English, about readership and lay understandings of the Bible, about the relationship between Christians and Jews in late medieval England, about the environment in which the Lollards and other reformers worked, about perceived roles of women in history and in society, and even about the composition of medieval drama. The Paraphrase-poet's proclamation that he intends to write stories "for sympyll men" (line 19) to understand the Scriptures and be engaged by them-"That men may lyghtly leyre / to tell and undertake yt" (lines 23-24)-thus combines the profit of sacred literature with the pleasure of the secular. This is Horace's utile et dulce ("both useful and pleasing") principle at its clearest, a singular example of the didacticism that characterizes so much of medieval literature, an aesthetic of pedagogic efficacy that is inseparably linked to the essential component of true pleasure in the text.

This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Middle English Metrical Paraphrase of the Old Testament, Vol. 4 The part now published ends with the Antiochus episode, correspond ing to II Maccabees, ch. 9. The narrative, being wound up by the usual pious wishes, does not suggest that a continuation is to be expected, so the poem, as far as can be seen, may be regarded as complete. On the other hand, the unknown author has not followed up his original plan of giving an abridged account of the Bible as a whole. He states the object of his work in the following words.
