{"product_id":"richard-morriss-prick-of-conscience-ralph-hanna-9780199680993","title":"Richard Morris's Prick of Conscience: A Corrected and Amplified Reading Text","description":"This mid fourteenth-century poem, a discussion of the 'contempt of the world' and the 'Four Last Things', was one of the most popular Middle English texts in its time, as indicated by the large number of extant copies, and illustrations of it in the windows of All Saints, North Street, in York. It was a widely influential compendium of religious instruction, originating in Yorkshire, but more widely disseminated, and thus representing this important regional culture, as well as its absorption into a nationwide religious culture. The only edition, by Richard Morris (1863), is now generally unavailable outside research libraries. The present edition revises Morris's text extensively and offers full modern annotation, including extensive discussion of the poem's sources. Morris's text, although based on an exceptionally good manuscript copy, has been fully collated with the principal early manuscripts; this information is presented in a separate textual commentary. There is an introduction presenting the poem in its context and a Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Hanna, Sarah Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019968099X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199680993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Early English Text Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.80d","brand":"Ralph Hanna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489206063359,"sku":"9780199680993","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_244be48c-b002-4f86-ae3a-ee1dcaab695c.jpg?v=1736952890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-morriss-prick-of-conscience-ralph-hanna-9780199680993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
