Although the literature of the Middle English Period is rich and varied, sometimes overshadowed by the genius of Chaucer, an anthology of the scholarly criticism of this literature has long been needed. Dr. Vasta has selected and edited fifteen of the most valuable and representative of the essays dealing with the important works and genre which reflect the theological, moral, and social facets of this versatile era, the last when the western world had something of a unity within the framework of the Christian ethic. Included are classic criticisms by Stephen Manning. Douglas Peterson, Wendell Stacy Johnson, Henry Wells, Elizabeth Zeeman, Homer A. Watt and Arthur Moore, on The Owl and the Nightingale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Pearl, Piers Plowman, Morte d' Arthur, Second Shepherd's Play and Everyman. 336 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
