Description

The Sinful Knights: A Study of Middle English Penitential Romance offers the first detailed analysis of four specific Middle English Romance poems: Guy of Warwick, Sir Ysumbras, Sir Gowther, and Robert of Cisyle. This scholarly work by Hopkins examines how these narratives address the themes of sin, repentance, and atonement through their heroic figures. The text explores how the penance performed by these heroes reflects archaic traditions that differ from the contemporary teachings and practices of the Church during that period. By investigating whether authors used romance literary conventions to convey moral lessons, this book provides a deep examination of the nature of romance itself. It is an essential resource for those studying literary history and medieval studies.
