Description:
This volume accompanies the University of Exeter Press' new critical edition of the middle English "Doctrine of the Hert", a devotional text which circulated widely in later medieval Europe, both in its Latin original and in various vernacular translations. It contains useful background information on the text, its authorship, its anchoritic context, use of symbolism and metaphor, and on the process of translation and its popularity throughout Europe.
