The poems of the Pearl Manuscript - Malcolm Andrew

For students of Middle English, Andrew and Waldron's The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript has been the key edition of the four Pearl poems for 30 years. Now, with the changing needs of today's student in mind, the editors have undertaken the most comprehensive revision of the book since its inception. The revised edition includes a new introduction providing historical, literary and cultural contexts for the poems. It also incorporates a revised and updated bibliography, minor changes to the text and glossary, and signifi cant revision and updating of the explanatory notes. Since the fi fth edition involves a significant reworking of previous editions and justifies library copy replacement, a hardback library edition will be available for a limited period. The fi fth edition will be available from late 2007.
