"This edition presents the three extant texts of a largely unrecognised genre in Middle English verse: odes to saints written in strong-stress metre in fourteen-line stanzas. These hymns were composed in the North and East Midlands in around 1400. This is the first edition of these linguistically difficult, 'knotty', poems-- for many years they were previously edited separately: in 1907 (re-edited, 1937), 1889 and 1921. The new edition takes account of recent scholarship on the Middle English alliterative verse tradition, and includes full discussion of the three poems' hagiographical and historical context."--Page [2] Book Cover.

The figure of the monster in medieval culture functions as a vehicle for a range of intellectual and spiritual enquiries, from questions of language and representation to issues of moral, theological and cultural value. Monsters embody cultural tensions that go far beyond the idea of the monster as simply an unintelligible and abject other. The Monstrous Middle Ages looks at both the representation of literal monsters and the consumption and exploitation of monstrous metaphors in a wide variety of high- and late-medieval cultural productions, from travel writings and mystical texts to sermons, manuscript illuminations and maps. Individual essays explore the ways in which monstrosity shaped the construction of gendered and racial identities, religious symbolism and social prejudice in the Middle Ages. Reading the Middle Ages through its monsters provides an opportunity to view medieval culture from fresh perspectives. The Monstrous Middle Ages will be essential reading for anyone interested in the concept of monstrosity and its significance for medieval cultural production.
