He conducts a full and detailed analysis of the formulaic character of the diction of four widely divergent alliterative poems: \u003ci\u003eJoseph of Arimathie, Death and Liffe, Saint Erkenwald\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eScotish Feilde\u003c\/i\u003e, placing each within the larger alliterative tradition. Major scholarly appendices provide the evidence for the arguments advanced as to the particular nature of each poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermann Josef Real,Paul Hartle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631337760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631337769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Hermann Josef Real","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588027527423,"sku":"9783631337769","price":110.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hunting-the-letter-hermann-josef-real-9783631337769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
