Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents select Middle English texts of the thirteenth century, a crucial period in the development of the English language, when it begins to shed its Old English character and evolve into something that would become closer to the language we know today. The author has chosen two texts, originally written in Southern dialects, to represent the state of Middle English during this time of transition: the Ancren Riwle and the Ormulum. The Ancren Riwle, a guide for anchoresses, offers insights into medieval religious life and thought, while the Ormulum, a collection of homilies, gives us a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the medieval English Church. Through these texts, the book provides a unique window into the linguistic, religious, and literary landscape of medieval England. It reveals how the English language evolved from its Germanic roots to become a vibrant and expressive medium of thought and feeling. Moreover, it sheds light on the social and religious values of the time. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English language or medieval English literature, as it brings to life the people and ideas that shaped this fascinating era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528102322_0
