This Norton Critical Edition includes:
"This welcome Second Edition of Stephen Shepherd's collection of Middle English romances offers an authoritative entry into the richly varied world of medieval narrative. The expanded selection, which now also includes Older Scots, invites readers to make any number of connections between these important works and a range of fascinating contextual material that includes chronicles; Continental romances; biblical tales; and other central Middle English poems, such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The thematic groupings present a provocative stimulus to comparative reading, while the new critical pieces on madness, magic, history, and representations of Islam offer a thoughtful selection of fresh approaches to the texts. Professor Shepherd is to be thanked for providing a wonderful resource for students and teachers alike." -Sarah Wood, University of Warwick
