Moving beyond the received understanding of the genre, \u003ci\u003eThe Voices of Medieval English Lyric\u003c\/i\u003e explores, through analysis, discussion, and demonstration, what the term \"lyric\" most meaningfully implies in a Middle English context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA critical edition of 131 poems that illustrate the range and rich variety of lyric poetry from the mid-twelfth century to the early sixteenth century, \u003ci\u003e The Voices of Medieval English Lyric\u003c\/i\u003e presents its texts - freshly edited from the manuscripts - in thirteen sections emphasizing contrasting and complementary voices and genres. As well as a selection of religious poetry, the collection includes a high proportion of secular lyrics, many on love and sexuality, both earnest and humorous. In general, major authors who have been covered thoroughly elsewhere are excluded from the edited texts, but some, especially Chaucer, are quoted or mentioned as illuminating comparisons. Charles d'Orléans and the Scots poets Robert Henryson and William Dunbar add an extra-national dimension to a single-language collection. Textual and thematic notes are provided, as well as versions of the poems in Latin or French when these exist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdopting new perspectives, \u003ci\u003eThe Voices of Medieval English Lyric\u003c\/i\u003e offers an up-to-date, accessible, and distinctive take on Middle English poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Klinck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773558829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773558823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Anne Klinck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082562478335,"sku":"9780773558823","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-voices-of-medieval-english-anne-klinck-9780773558823","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
