Publisher's Synopsis

The first critical edition of one of the earliest representations of the body-and-soul theme in the middle ages, which, unusually, survives in more than one copy and is therefore of particular relevance to the study of the transmission of texts; discussion of manuscripts, language, prosody and structure.

About the Publisher

D.S. Brewer

Boydell & Brewer Ltd was formed in 1978. It merged two companies, Boydell Press and D.S. Brewer, whose founders, Richard Barber and Derek Brewer, were themselves scholars - Brewer a Chaucer specialist and subsequently Professor of English and Master of Emmanuel College, Barber a medieval historian and Arthurian. Richard Barber is still a highly active scholar and continues to publish eminently in his own right and offers a vast amount of knowledge and experience to Boydell & Brewer.
