By turns both gleefully trivial and allusively serious, it has been described by literary critics as a `most miraculous piece of writing', `a marvel of literary art' and `a truly amazing phenomenon'. There is no other edition currently in print and this is the first new English edition of the poem since 1960. The book contains a lively parallel-text translation in modern English, as well as a glossary, notes and Introduction. The edition has involved a complete reconsideration of the poem's complex textual history, its linguistic provenance and the practices of its scribes, as well as its possible sources. 663965 1 1 2002 The Owl and the Nightingale: Text and Translation (Exeter Medieval Texts and Studies) total:2|5:0|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 2 7 3 1 677968 0859896900 9780859896900 2 1 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177054106m/677968.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/677968.The_Owl_and_the_Nightingale_Text_and_Translation 4 0 false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 10:06:13 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 06:58:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 677968 0859896900 9780859896900 2 1 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177054106m/677968.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/677968.The_Owl_and_the_Nightingale_Text_and_Translation 3 0 false Wed Oct 28 12:31:23 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 12:31:23 -0700 2009 677968 0859896900 9780859896900 2 1 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177054106m/677968.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/677968.The_Owl_and_the_Nightingale_Text_and_Translation 0 0 false Sun Mar 01 19:16:24 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 19:16:24 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=677968
