MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE
The second installment in this series features manuscripts of both
well-known and lesser-known Medieval and Renaissance authors
dating from roughly 1120 to 1660. Medieval and Renaissance
contains letters, poems, stories, plays, chronicles, religious
writings, and other materials.
The documents include great works of early English literature —
"Beowulf," "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "The
Canterbury Tales" among them — plus religious works like "The
Prick of Conscience," the York and Coventry Mystery Plays,
and the writings of John Wycliffe, Julian of Norwich, and
Margery Kempe. Scholars will also find important cultural and
historical sources, like the letters of Alcuin and Lanfranc and
the 1488 manuscripts of Barbour's "Life and Acts of Robert the
Bruce."
