  Review
  
  It is impossible
within the confines of a review article to do justice to every or, indeed, to any chapter in this
well–thought–out book. As a companion , it is to be revisited with enjoyment for its many new insights on
familiar and well–loved material and its confident handling of new approaches to the study of medieval English
poetry. (Parergon, 2012)
  
  "This is, however, a minor quibble; the essays in this book provide very useful
introductions to the subjects they cover, and seem well placed to become standard basic reference works on medieval
English poetry". (Medium Aevum, 2011)
  
  "This Blackwell Companion to Medieval Poetry is a very fine
resource for students and teachers alike. It is particularly commendable for its wide scope, ranging from the earliest
Old English texts to the poetry of late–medieval England (post–Chaucerian), as well as for its clear
attention both to wider context, and to genre, modes and authors, and occasionally to individual texts, such as
Chaucer′s love visions, Troilus, or The Canterbury Tales (each of which receives its own chapter)." (Routledge
ABES, 2011)
  
  From the Back Cover
  
  In a series of original essays from leading literary
scholars, this Companion offers a chronological sweep of medieval poetry from Old English to the great genres of
romance, narrative, and alliterative poetry of the 15 th century.
  Beginning in the Anglo–Saxon period, the
volume explores the Old English language and its alliterative tradition, before moving on to examine the genres of
heroic, devotional, wisdom and epic poetry, culminating in a discussion of arguably the founding text of the English
literary canon, the great epic Beowulf. In part two, the Companion moves on to discuss the linguistic and social changes
brought about as a result of the Norman Conquest, exploring how this influenced the development of literary genres.
Essays probe the shifts and continuities in genres such as lyric, chronicle and dream vision, and the emergence of new
genres such as popular and courtly romance, and drama. A particular focus is the continuation of the alliterative
tradition from the Anglo–Saxon period to the fifteenth century. A series of chapters on major authors, including
Chaucer, Gower, and Langland, provide fresh approaches to reading and studying key texts, such as The Canterbury Tales,
Piers Plowman and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
  
  Finally, the collection examines cultural change at
the close of the medieval period and the variety of literature produced in the ′long fifteenth century′,
including writing by and for women, Scots poetry, clerical and courtly works, and secular and sacred drama.
