- Description
- Second half of a two-part special edition of this electronic journal: an online collection of translations of Middle English texts. The first part translates ten Middle English romances, with introductions, notes, and commentary; this second part is an anthology of complaint literature that includes a variety of texts, arranged topically, with introductions, commentary, and notes. Includes a translation of Chaucer's Sted and "Literature of the Estates," a discussion of GP as an example of estates satire (focusing on the Friar, the Man of Law, and the Guildsmen), compared with Langland's "Piers Plowman" and Gower's "Vox Clamantis."
