英語のほか、ウェールズ語・スコットランド語・アイルランド語・アングロ・ノルマン語・英国の中世ラテン語などの言語で著された英国の詩・散文・戯曲のうち、最古の作品群について、その歴史的・知的背景や、原典の執筆、最初期の印刷文化までを振り返ります。『ベオウルフ』『カンタベリー物語』『マビノギオン』など著名なものから、あまり知られていない説教、聖人の物語、抒情詩、歴史書まで、読者を中世英文学の世界に誘います。
  

  • Demonstrates the tremendous range of literature produced in the British Isles during the Medieval millennium
  • Provides a detailed overview of the evolution and complexity of Medieval texts
  • Places well-known works such as Beowulf and The Canterbury Tales alongside lesser known texts

  
This Very Short Introduction provides a compelling account of the emergence of the earliest literature in Britain and Ireland, including English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Anglo-Latin and Anglo-Norman. Introducing the reader to some of the greatest poetry, prose and drama ever written, Elaine Treharne discusses the historical and intellectual background to these works, and considers the physical production of the manuscripts and the earliest beginnings of print culture. Covering both well-known texts, such as BeowulfThe Canterbury Tales and the Mabinogion, as well as texts that are much less familiar, such as sermons, saints' lives, lyrics and histories, Treharne discusses major themes such as sin and salvation, kingship and authority, myth and the monstrous, and provides a full, but brief, account of one of the major periods in literary history.
