Explore the relationship between oral tradition and literacy in this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1994, Oral Poetics in Middle English Poetry provides a multidisciplinary examination of verbal art from the Middle English period.

By moving beyond traditional views, this book establishes a new interpretive paradigm for studying Middle English poetry. It is an essential resource for scholars looking to understand how orality and literacy function together within the medieval world.
