The Complete Works of the Pearl Poet, Paperback / softback Book

The Complete Works of the Pearl Poet Paperback / softback

Edited by Malcolm Andrew, Ronald Waldron, Clifford Peterson

Paperback / softback

Description

This edition presents, for the first time, the entire oeuvre of the Pearl poet with both the original Middle English works and complete verse translations.

Poet and scholar Casey Finch uses anapestic tetrameters (and iambic tetrameter for Pearl) in his translations rather than the accented tetrameters of the originals, thus achieving the rhythmic regularity the poems would have displayed when performed to music, as they surely were meant to be.

Finch's translations are printed facing the best modern editions of the poems, those of Malcolm Andrew and Ronald Waldron and of Clifford Peterson.
