Umschlag etwas berieben u.m. kl. Randläsuren. - This book invites the reader to follow the rich development of English medieval literature from its earliest Anglo-Saxon origins down to the onset of a new age under the Tudors. It describes the various forms and types of literary expression in the periods covered: Old English lyric and epic, both secular and hagiographical; homiletic and other didactic texts in the course of the centuries; feudal romances both early and late; erotic and religious allegories; above all the multiple forms represented in the crowning work of Geoffrey Chaucer. Throughout, the literature is related to the changing social background, the transformations in church and state, the shifting class forces, the contacts with foreign cultures.
