- Description
- Clarifies how students' experiences with grief or loss can be useful in overcoming modern resistance to reading "Pearl," and suggests comparative study of the poem with other texts in Middle English, including BD. Offers discussion questions for comparing such poems: for BD, comparing Pearl and Blanche, the Pearl-dreamer and the Black Knight, and the descriptive and narrative techniques of the two works.
