How to Read Middle English Poetry
How do we teach new generations of students the nuts and bolts of Middle English poetic craft? At the advanced level there are plenty of books on the topic, but they are not suitable for beginners. There is thus an urgent need for an accessible guide to the meters and verse forms of Middle English verse. Sawyer's book, issued in an affordable paperback edition, meets this need brilliantly and does something else that is equally important: it illu…
An Epistle of Noble Poetrye
Christine de Pizan's L'Epistre d'Othéa was one of her most popular works, surviving in at least forty-seven manuscripts, some copied in England. Henry IV tried to lure her to England as his court poet, but she politely declined. Her political sympathies were not with the Lancastrian usurper. Her son Jean de Castel had been in the service of John Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, and when the latter was executed after leading a rebellion against Henry I…

In Wales, the existence of a Dutch-speaking colony in Pembrokeshire is well known, but this article documents Dutch words both in the medieval writings of Gerald of Wales and in the modern dialect. In Scotland, I focus on a copy of a Dutch letter by Wouter Michiels and …

Each essay introduces one popular romance, setting it in its literary and historical contexts, and develops…
