These are discussed in concise focused essays, accompanied by summaries and recommendations for further reading. The emphasis is on key historical and literary-critical concepts and ideas essential for the study of Old and Middle English literature. The book highlights continuity in the development of Medieval Literature and the need to see texts in context, both historically and linguistically.
