BURROW, J. A., Medieval Writers and their Work. Middle English Literature 1100-1500. Oxford University Press, 2008. 2nd edition. 176p. Paperback. This book is the most effective introduction to Middle English literature that I know. It is everywhere alert to the ways that modern literary sensibilities need to be adjusted in order to appreciate the medieval norm, and Burrow combines astonishing learning with a pedagogical shrewdness that always picks out just the telling passage or focusing cultural fact. This second edition adds a great deal of new and equally important material to a work that had already become a classic in its own right.
