The Complete Works of the Pearl Poet
Perfect student or beginners edition of the collected texts of the Peal/Gawain poet. Features side by side translation and original, allowing fast reference to beginner of intermediate readers with extensive notes, index and glossary, not to mention an extremely useful introduction. This is as useful to such readers of middle English as the Riverside Chaucer, and is a must for anyone who is studying these texts or wishes to add them to their personal library.

facinating look at early english
Old English text on left, modern translation right. Even the modern translation is rough to read but gives a sense of the meter and phrasing of the original. Very interesting in terms of how the language has changed.Read full review...
