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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Owl and the Nightingale: Edited With Introduction, d104s, Notes, Translation and Glossary This edition of The Owl and the Nightingale is mainly based upon the work submitted as a Fellowship dissertation at St John's College, Cambridge, some years ago, and since laid aside for various reasons. In the meantime the poem has received considerable attention, more especially at the hands of American and German scholars. Useful editions have appeared by Wells and Gadow: further light has from time to time been thrown upon dark places in the text: and altogether it may safely be said that the poem to-day is better understood than ever. But it is equally true to say that much remains to be done. There are many "desperate" places in the texts awaiting solution, besides difficulties connected with almost every aspect of the work: and it is in the hope of clearing up some of these difficulties that the present edition has at length been undertaken. As to the methods employed in this edition, it may at once be said that the main effort has been concentrated upon providing a reliable text: and here the accurate work of Wells has been of considerable assistance, though, it must also be added, both MSS. have been carefully and independently examined. Thus the two versions have been given as the simplest way of providing all the available data: the texts are represented substantially as they stand: all departures from the Ms. readings have been carefully noted: while the emended forms have been indicated by being placed in square brackets. As for the emendations themselves, they are concerned for the most part with the C. text, as being the earlier and more conservative of the two copies: but while this C. text thus becomes the main subject of study, the J. version will be found useful for purposes of collation and comparison.

Download or read book The Owl and the Nightingale Classic Reprint written by John Edwin Wells and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Owl and the Nightingale The owl and the Nightingale has apparently received much less attention than it merits. Probably this is due in great part to the lack of an accurate and convenient edition of the poem. The editions of Stevenson, Wright, and Stratmann are incomplete, and none of the three has at all adequate apparatus (cf. Bibliography). Wright's bare Cotton text may be had in the Percy Society Publications in larger libraries; but because only a few were printed for a limited circulation, copies of Stevenson's and Stratmann's editions are rare even among collections of hundreds of thousands of volumes. Accordingly many students have been forced to rely to a great extent for their estimate of the poem, on the selections in Matzner's Altenglische Sprachproben (a work not generally accessible) and in Morris and Skeat's Specimens of Early English, Part 1. In this edition for the first time the full readings of both MSS. are printed. Great pains have been taken in an attempt to make the texts accurate. Explanations of the bases and methods used in making up the texts and the glossary, will be found prefaced to the texts and the glossary. To save space and to satisfy the purpose of this series, the notes have been confined to explanation of the texts, illustrative parallels being omitted. The use of diacritical marks in the glossary and not in the texts; and the limiting of citations from the text and the omission of etymological matter, in the glossary; are by direction of the general editor.

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.

Download or read book The Owl and the Nightingale written by Brian Stone and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 1971 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle English poems in this book exemplify three major genres in medieval religious writing: saint's legend, Bible epic and religious debate. St Erkenwald, perhaps the best saint's legend in English poetry, tells how a bishop of London raised a pagan judge from the dead and sent his soul to heaven. In Cleanness (often known as Purity) such events as the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Belshazzar's feast are recounted with the descriptive eloquence of the poet who wrote Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The Owl and the Nightingale is a charming, if occasionally virulent, contest between two birds who debate, owl-wise and nightingale-wise, the traditional morals of the church and the ideals of courtly love.
