The Poems of Laurence Minot, 1333-1352

by Richard H Osberg (Editor)

Overview

This fresh classroom edition of the Middle English poems of Laurence Minot, with its introduction, gloss, notes, and glossary, enables students of all levels to encounter Minot's poetry. A difficult figure to identify, Laurence Minot wrote a set of eleven poems celebrating English victories against the French between 1333 and 1352, soon after the conclusion of said victories. This volume offers students valuable insights into fourteenth-century English poetry and an inimitable English poet's perspective on the Hundred Years' War.
