The Matter of Araby in Medieval England

By Dorothee Metlitzki

Book Overview

This book examines the literary and intellectual relationships between "Piers Plowman" and "The Faerie Queene". It links these two rich and problematical poems by showing their development from a common religious and artistic matrix and by assessing their roles in the evolution of allegory. "A valuable contibution to our understanding of the medieval vernacular literature." --Robert W. Ackerman
