The owl and the nightingale : text and translation
"The Owl and the Nightingale is one of the first and greatest long comic poems in the English language and one of the best known and most accomplished of all medieval literary texts. As such it is of considerable importance to the history of the language, as well as to the history of its literature. By turns both gleefully trivial and allusively serious, it has been described by literary critics as a 'most miraculous piece of writing', 'a marvel of literary art' and 'a truly amazing phenomenon'."--BOOK JACKET
