- Description
- An introduction and twelve essays by various authors survey critical issues related to Middle English lyrics - courtly, popular, religious, political, etc. Individual essays consider topics such as manuscripts, meter and editing, carols, lyrics in sermons, gender issues, and Middle Scots lyrics. The book contains recurrent references to Chaucer's standalone and embedded lyrics, with one essay that pertains directly to his works: Douglas Gray's "Middle English Courtly Lyrics: Chaucer to Henry VIII."
