Description

Medieval English Lyrics and Carols provides a comprehensive anthology of two key medieval literary forms. This collection brings together a wide-ranging selection of lyrics and carols, spanning from the earliest love poems to devotional works and satirical songs. The texts have been edited anew, with a focus on restoring sense, metre, and rhyme where possible. The language has been normalized to reflect the dialect of late fourteenth-century London, while unfamiliar spellings in later lyrics have been regularized. Line-by-line glosses aid readability, making this anthology an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. An extensive introduction offers a detailed appraisal of the forms, themes, and contexts of the lyrics, as well as a comprehensive commentary providing essential information on their language and metre.
