The nineteenth-century antiquarian Thomas Wright (1810 77) was a prolific scholar, editor and bibliographer. His two-volume anthology of twelfth-century Latin poetry, first published in 1872, is the fullest available and this reissue will be especially useful to scholars of medieval schools, religious life and satire, and those interested in medieval literature's relationship with the Latin classics. It remains the only published edition of important poems by Geoffrey of Winchester, Hugh the Chanter, Reginald of Canterbury, Serlo of Bayeux and Gualo Britto. Volume 2 contains several hundred short epigrams and poems, including works by Marbod of Rennes, Roger of Caen, Serlo of Wilton and Henry of Huntingdon, along with a number of longer works, including Alain of Lille's influential Anticlaudianus and De Planctu Naturae. An appendix presents the eighth-century riddles of Tatwine and Aldhelm." | The Anglo-latin Satirical Poets And Epigrammatists Of The Twelfth Century by Thomas Wright, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
