MIDDLE ENGLISH ROMANCES (NCE) - STEPHEN HA SHEP...

The texts of the seven romances included-Havelok  Ywain and Gawain  Sir Orfeo  Sir Launfal  The
Awntyrs off Arthure at the Terne Wathelyne  The Weddyng of Syr Gawen and Dame Ragnell  and The
Sege off Melayne-are complete  authoritative (rendered from the best manuscripts)  and
comprehensively glossed and annotated for undergraduate readers. In addition to their literary
importance  the seven romances were chosen because they shed light on other important Middle
English texts. Sources and Backgrounds offers comparative analogues (many complete) to each of
the seven romances. These readings enable students to understand the genre in the context of
related medieval ideas and attitudes. Criticism collects four essays that provide a variety of
perspectives on Middle English romances by Erich Auerbach  John Finlayson  A. C. Baugh  and
Gisela Guddat-Figge. A Selected Bibliography is also included.
