Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the earliest literary works to be written in Middle English and one of the first comic poems in the English language, The Owl and the Nightingale (1189-1216) is an anonymous work that describes a debate between two birds. In arguing about such topics as love, marriage, and nesting habits, the owl and the nightingale address issues that remain relevant to contemporary society, such as identity, cultural background, class distinctions, and the right to be heard. The British Library describes it as "a humorous piece of avian mud-slinging as the birds quarrel, not always good-naturedly." It is composed of octosyllabic couplets in an early form of Middle English from before the age of Chaucer. Some scholars see it as a commentary on different traditions of debate; others read it as a reflection of modern scientific thinking on the differences between the human and the animal. The award-winning poet Simon Armitage has translated the 1,700-line poem using full rhyming couplets in iambic octameter. The book includes a facing-page translation of the poem, along with an introduction by Armitage. To produce the translation he worked from facsimile and transcribed editions of the two surviving manuscripts, one at the British Library and one at Jesus College, Oxford, as well as from several other published and online resources. Having already translated Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Death of King Arthur, and Pearl, he expects that this is his last medieval translation"--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old English Poem of the Owl and the Nightingale The following poem is found in two manuscripts; one in the British Museum, London, manusc. Cotton. Calig. A. IX, of the first half of the thirteenth cen tury; the other in the library of Jesus College, Cx ford, Arch. I. 29, of the latter half of the thirteenth century. It has been twice printed; by Stevenson, in 1838, from the Cotton manuscript with a few readings of the Jesus College manuscript, and by Th. Wright, in 1843, from the Cotton manuscript alone. I have now tried to give a critical edition of it, founded on a careful collation of both manu scripts, the dilferent readings of which are noted at the bottom of the page. Consistency in the spelling I have observed as far as possible. How I have succeeded in my endeavours to restore my text to its original perfection my readers may decide.

Download or read book The Owl and the Nightingale written by Kathryn Hume and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1975-12-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Owl and the Nightingale is clearly one of the few major Middle English poems. Despite the clarity and simplicity of its text, however, the poem has occasioned bitter and still unresolved interpretative controversy. Is the key to its meaning to be found in bird lore? the debate form? Is the poem a political or religious allegory? Despite the radical contradictions in the conclusions of previous critics, most of them have implicitly claimed a unique and exclusive validity. Kathryn Hume's purpose in writing this book is to offer a new account of the poem, one based on a systematic attempt to assess the validity and usefulness of various possible approaches to the work. She shows saneness, balance, and humour both in her criticism of previous interpretations and in her own conclusions. We need, she insists, to understand the nature of the poem before we erect elaborate theories about its meaning. The contradictoriness of the relevant avian traditions, the birds' complete incompetence as debaters, the poem's curiously indeterminate ending, and the critics' inability to agree even on the subject of the controversy, she argues, makes it difficult to see the work as a serious debate about anything. Attempts to find an extrinsic or allegorical meaning have proven radically contradictory and have all neglected large portions of the poem. But since no serious issue is present in the bird's dialogue, the meaning of the poem must indeed be sought elsewhere. Analysis of The Owl and the Nightingale's sequential impact and its manipulation of audience response emphasize the debate's lack of direction, its bitterness, and also – from the reader's point of view – its humour. Kathryn Hume argues that a great deal is clarified and made comprehensible if we regard the poem as a burlesque-satire on human contentiousness. The birds' illogic, the wandering arguments, the unsystematic introduction of various human concerns, and the inconclusive ending are all consistent with the idea that the poem was written as a witty caricature of petty but vicious human quarrelling. Both for its sane reinterpretation of what is widely considered one of the masterpieces of Middle English literature and for the interpretative methodology it employs, The Owl and the Nightingle: The Poem and Its Critics should be of lasting value to medievalists.
