The
Middle English
"Mirror", an edition of the anonymous Middle English translation
of Robert de Gretham's Anglo-Norman Miroir or Les Evangiles
des
Domnees (ca. 1250-1300), presents a collection of sixty homilies
avowedly
written for a woman of rank to help counteract the bad effects of her
reading
too many chansons de geste and histories. The collection also seems
directed
at a more general audience because it concerns itself largely with the
question of how a person, regardless of rank and status, can be a good
Christian. The Middle English translation exists in six manuscripts,
but
has never been edited before. Thus this volume is of considerable
cultural
and historical interest as well as being an important text for the
study
of late medieval religious life. Its publication will be welcomed not
merely
by students of Middle English literature, but by general medievalists
in
many fields.
