My Compleinte, and Other Poems (Exeter Medieval Texts & Studies)

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Thomas Hoccleve was one of Chaucer's first disciples and is represented in this book by a selection of his works, newly edited from his own copies and fully annotated. It provides students and other readers new to his work with a very fair indication of his range and achievement as
original writer and translator and includes a full Introduction and marginal glosses. It also offers those more familiar with his work a fuller account than has hitherto been available of the manuscripts both of Hoccleve's own texts and, when he was translating from Latin or French, of his sources.
Some of the themes and topics explored, with Hoccleve's light and witty touch, include women ; money ; isolation and suffering ; the pains of hell and the joys of
heaven; the serendipitous nature of literary production; the writer as translator, reporter, or even as gossip.
