Contextualising Middle English Liturgical Commentaries

| Resumo: | Important discussions of Middle English miscellanies, with special reference to works of religious instruction, include, for instance, work by Margaret Connolly (2003, 2011) and Ralph Hanna (e.g., 1996, 2007, 2010). But much detailed work remains to be done, from various disciplinary perspectives, to respond to the challenge set inter alia by Thorlac Turville-Petre forty years ago, viz., to set such works “much more securely and illuminat- ingly within [their] local context” (1983, 141). In this paper, part of an ongoing programme of research into the ‘cultural mapping’ of Middle English writings on the liturgy (see e.g., Jasper and Smith 2019, 2023; Smith 2021), a range of verse and prose texts are placed in their codicological contexts. It will be demonstrated how the forms of these texts correlate closely with the socio-cultural functions of the manuscripts in which they survive. |
