Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his acclaimed translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, Simon Armitage shines light on another jewel of Middle English verse. In his highly engaging version, Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fierce verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous. The disputed issues still resonate - concerning identity, cultural habits, class distinctions and the right to be heard. Excerpts were featured in the BBC Radio 4 podcast, The Poet Laureate Has Gone to His Shed. Including the lively illustrations of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, this is a book for the whole household to read and enjoy.

Book excerpt: An edition of the early Middle English verse sequence contained in the thirteenth-century Oxford Jesus College MS 29 (II) with accompanying translations in Modern English and scholarly introduction and apparatus. The sequence is varied in subject, with poems of religious exhortation set beside others of secular pragmatism. Included are: The Owl and the Nightingale, Poema Morale, The Proverbs of Alfred, Thomas of Hales's Love Rune, The Eleven Pains of Hell, the prose Shires and Hundreds of England, the lengthy Passion of Jesus Christ in English, and twenty-one additional lyrics, most of them uniquely preserved in this manuscript.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old English Poem of the Owl and the Nightingale The following poem is found in two manuscripts; one in the British Museum, London, manusc. Cotton. Calig. A. IX, of the first half of the thirteenth cen tury; the other in the library of Jesus College, Cx ford, Arch. I. 29, of the latter half of the thirteenth century. It has been twice printed; by Stevenson, in 1838, from the Cotton manuscript with a few readings of the Jesus College manuscript, and by Th. Wright, in 1843, from the Cotton manuscript alone. I have now tried to give a critical edition of it, founded on a careful collation of both manu scripts, the dilferent readings of which are noted at the bottom of the page. Consistency in the spelling I have observed as far as possible. How I have succeeded in my endeavours to restore my text to its original perfection my readers may decide.

Download or read book The owl and the nightingale written by Neil Cartlidge and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Owl and the Nightingale is one of the first and greatest long comic poems in the English language and one of the best-known and most accomplished of all medieval literary texts. By turns both gleefully trivial and allusively serious, it has been described by literary critics as a "most miraculous piece of writing", "a marvel of literary art" and "a truly amazing phenomenon". There is no other edition currently in print and this is the first new English edition of the poem since 1960.The book contains a lively parallel-text translation in modern English, as well as a glossary, notes and Introduction. The edition has involved a complete reconsideration of the poem's complex textual history, its linguistic provenance and the practices of its scribes, as well as its possible sources.
