THE KATHERINE GROUP GEBUNDEN

The Katherine Group is a set of Early Middle English works composed for devout women  renowned
for both their vigorous and flexible prose and their rich and distinctive language. This volume
for the first time brings together all the manuscripts of four of the five works  printing them
in parallel for easy comparison. Scrutiny of the manuscripts has made it possible to correct a
considerable number of errors in the standard editions  and to present the Royal and Titus
texts in a more diplomatic form than hitherto available. The notes pay particular attention to
paleographic details and doubtful readings. Complete wordlists  giving frequencies and
differentiating the individual texts  have been provided for the Royal and Titus versions 
allowing them to be studied on an equal footing with the better-known Bodley 34 versions.
